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.
