Tems: A Historic Grammy Contender.

Published

on

Nigerian R&B star Temilade Openiyi, widely known as Tems, is on the brink of making history at the 67th Grammy Awards. According to Billboard, she stands poised to become the first African artist to win two Grammys in a single night, with nominations in three prestigious categories.

Tems is nominated for Best African Music Performance for her track “Love Me Jeje,” Best Global Music Album for her debut album “Born In The Wild,” and Best R&B Song for “Burning.” The Grammy ceremony is set to take place on Sunday, February 2nd, at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.

Billboard predicts that Tems will secure victories in at least two categories. “Love Me Jeje,” which samples Seyi Sodimu’s 1997 hit of the same name, is favored to win Best African Music Performance, competing against notable artists such as Yemi Alade, Asake & Wizkid, Chris Brown featuring Davido & Lojay, and Burna Boy. However, the competition remains fierce, with “Sensational” by Chris Brown and “Higher” by Burna Boy recognized as formidable contenders.

In the Best Global Music Album category, Tems is anticipated to win with “Born In The Wild,” facing competition from Matt B featuring the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Ciro Hurtado, Rema, and Antonio Rey. Notably, Tems is the only previous Grammy winner in this category, which adds to her standing.

While Billboard acknowledges the strength of her competitors, particularly Antonio Rey’s “Historias De Un Flamenco,” the unpredictable nature of the Grammys means that surprises are always possible. The event will be hosted by South African comedian Trevor Noah for the fifth consecutive year, with Beyoncé leading the nominations this year with an impressive eleven.

As the music industry eagerly awaits the outcome, Tems’ potential achievements represent a significant milestone for African artists on the global stage.
