Nigerian Afrobeats sensation Tems has clinched her second Grammy Award, winning the Best African Music Performance category at the 67th Grammy Awards held on Sunday, February 2, 2025. Her hit track, “Love Me Jeje,” outshone strong contenders including Yemi Alade’s “Tomorrow,” Asake and Wizkid’s “MMS,” Chris Brown’s “Sensational” featuring Davido and Lojay, and Burna Boy’s “Higher.”
Former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi took to social media to commend Tems on her remarkable achievement. He expressed his elation over the strides Nigerian youths are making, particularly in the entertainment sector. Obi stated, “I am ever elated by the huge success Nigerian youths are making in various fields, especially in the entertainment sector.”
He further extended his congratulations to other Nigerian artists who received Grammy nominations, emphasizing the nation’s abundant talent that continues to gain global recognition. “Undoubtedly, Nigeria remains home to the endless flow of talents who, through their creative arts, continue to put the nation on the global map,” Obi added.
Tems’ latest accolade marks her second Grammy win, following her 2023 victory in the Best Melodic Rap Performance category for her contribution to Future’s hit song “Wait for U.” Her continued success underscores the rising prominence of Nigerian artists on the international stage.
