Tems Set to Make History with Possible Double Grammy Win
Nigerian singer-songwriter Temilade Openiyi, known professionally as Tems, is on the cusp of making history at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards, scheduled for February 2, 2025, at Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena. With three nominations, she stands to become the first African artist to win multiple Grammys in a single night.
Tems’ nominations include Best African Music Performance for “Love Me, Jeje,” Best Global Music Album for her debut studio album “Born in the Wild,” and Best R&B Song for “Burning.” “Love Me Jeje” is a contemporary rendition of Seyi Sodimu’s 1997 classic, showcasing Tems’ ability to blend traditional African sounds with modern R&B.
Billboard predicts that Tems will secure victories in both the Best African Music Performance and Best Global Music Album categories. In the former, she faces competition from fellow Nigerian artists Yemi Alade (“Tomorrow”), Asake & Wizkid (“MMS”), Chris Brown featuring Davido & Lojay (“Sensational”), and Burna Boy (“Higher”).
Notably, “Sensational” by Chris Brown, featuring Davido and Lojay, has been highlighted as a “Look Out For” track by Billboard, while Burna Boy’s “Higher” is also considered a strong contender.
In the Best Global Music Album category, Tems’ “Born in the Wild” is up against “Alkebulan II” by Matt B featuring the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, “Paisajes” by Ciro Hurtado, “Heis” by Rema, and “Historias De Un Flamenco” by Antonio Rey.
It’s noteworthy that Tems is the only previous Grammy winner among this year’s nominees in this category, having previously won for her collaboration on “Wait for U” with Future and Drake.
Social media personality Blessing Okoro makes headlines as she apologized over the cancer drama that occurred recently.
It can be noted that she came to social media and claimed she had stage 4 breast cancer, which stirred reactions from the public and led to assistance in funds. However, it was later reported that the stage 4 cancer claim was fake.
“I want to start by saying I am sorry, very sorry to my loved ones, fans, well-wishers and to all Nigerians. I am sorry for the unnecessary drama, embarrassment and controversy surrounding my health issues. I want to genuinely apologize, I am sorry. Going forward I will carry you all along, just like I carried you all during my liposuction and BBL journey. Please be patient with me, I did not lie about my health issues.”
South African singer Tyla has shared that she will release an album on the 24th of July, 2026 titled “A*POP”.
The singer shared in a recent interview with Rolling Stone “I just knew that as I lived through the making of the album, it was going to fall into place, which it did. I feel like I just did something really fresh and so… Tyla.”
It can be recalled that the singer just released a song with Zara Larsson. Check it out: “She Did It Again”.
Nigerian singer Tems revealed her approach to following her dream in music. She shared that after she went to school, studied, and got her degree, she gave it to her parents and pursued her dream in music.
She shared that she is a sensitive person, and this made her decide to do what her parents wanted before chasing what she wanted.
“I am very sensitive to people’s feelings, so while my school fees were being paid, I had to make them proud. As soon as I finished school, I handed my parents my degree and asked them to leave me alone and let me do my thing with music.”
