“There’s not a single world in Afrobeats where Tems is greater than Tiwa Savage“
While Tems is undeniably a rising star, breaking boundaries with her soulful sound and international collaborations, comparing her to Tiwa Savage feels premature. Tiwa Savage, often regarded as the “Queen of Afrobeats,” has a decade-long legacy of redefining the genre, pioneering hits like “All Over” and “Eminado.” Her global influence, stage presence, and consistent chart-toppers have solidified her status as one of the greatest. Tems, with her unique voice and fresh sound, is still carving her space in the industry. While Tems’ journey is impressive and commendable, there’s a clear distinction between the two. Tiwa Savage’s catalog, influence, and pioneering role in Afrobeats are unmatched for now. In essence, both artists shine in their lanes, but to claim Tems has surpassed Tiwa is a stretch—at least, not yet.
Tems makes headlines as she receives some backlash and Nigerian reactions after stating that she is not an Afrobeats singer.
Some Nigerians called her out, saying that she wants to forget her Nigerian roots now that she is famous.
Some stated that as long as she does not forget where she comes from, she is not Nigerian or should start claiming another ethnicity. Another fan recalled when this once happened to Wizkid, and he was called out.
Nigerian singer Tems speaks on how she views herself and shares that she does not view herself as an Afrobeats singer, but rather as an R&B artist.
“I’m not an Afrobeats artist. I classify my music as R&B every time I release music, but blogs keep calling it Afrobeats. I’ve noticed that any music that comes out of Africa is automatically categorized as Afrobeats.”
Some Nigerians reacted, and many shared their thoughts.
After many years, the jury convicts former gang leader Duane “Keffe D” Davis for the murder of Tupac Shakur.
The gang leader was found guilty after they found the weapon used years later. It was shared that the jury said:
“Count one, murder with use of a deadly weapon, guilty of first-degree murder with use of a deadly weapon,” the jury foreperson announced in court.
Duane Davis, in the culture of gangs, could not let that stand. “So what did he do? He acquired a firearm, got his group together, and went hunting for Mr. Shakur.”
