Nigerian music sensation Tems is on the verge of making history, with Billboard predicting she could become the first African artist to win two Grammys in a single night.
The award-winning singer-songwriter, whose meteoric rise has put Afrobeats and R&B on the global stage, is nominated in multiple categories at the upcoming Grammy Awards.
Having already won a Grammy for her contribution to Future’s Wait For U in 2023, Tems now stands a chance to etch her name in the record books once again.
According to Billboard, the singer’s nominations in key categories, including Best Global Music Performance and possibly Best R&B Song, make her a strong contender for a historic double win. With collaborations featuring heavyweights like Beyoncé and Rihanna and her solo hit Me & U gaining global traction, Tems has become a dominant force in the industry.
Music analysts believe her unique blend of soulful vocals and Afrobeats-inspired melodies gives her an edge in a competitive field.
If she secures two wins in one night, Tems will not only make Nigeria proud but also set a new standard for African artists in the global music industry.
Fans across the continent are already celebrating her nominations, with many calling her the “Queen of the New School.” Whether she bags both awards or not, one thing is clear—Tems is no longer just a rising star; she is a powerhouse redefining African music on the world stage.
