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.
A Nigerian lady who resides abroad sparks reactions as she revealed that she is getting paid to watch live football matches.
The lady took to social media to reveal this and shared the positive side of living in the UK.
“You people will get angry when I tell you that I love the UK. So currently right now I am getting paid to watch a live football match. I love this country so much, and if you have any negative thing to say about it, it’s okay…”
The public then reacts to her comment and experience, with many wishing to be her.
Nigerian gospel singer Bidemi Olaoba makes headlines. It can be noted that an 84-hour praise marathon occurred from the 3rd of March till now.
The praise marathon had the following artists in attendance: Dunsin Oyekan, Chioma Jesus, Simisola Agbebi, and Toluwasings.
The event was also held to celebrate the birthday of Nigerian pastor Enoch Adeboye. However, the singer is now trending because of a phrase he said during the event, “Yakubu Manage”.
The public criticized and shared that it is a secular phrase or an ending phrase and it was odd for him to say in a praise session, while others defend and share that it doesn’t mean anything.
Nigerian singer Simi’s management steps out to address the rumors regarding a divorce between the couple.
The rumors stated that Adekunle Gold had gone to file for divorce. However, the management came out to share that whatever news is being seen about divorce is not true.
“It’s fake and fabricated. First, stage names are not tenable in any court of justice worldwide as indicated in the document. Even the suit number on the document is backdated to 2024 (SUIT NO HCL/FC/2024/0178),” he said.
