Nigerian RnB superstar Tems has once again solidified her place in music history by earning three nominations for the upcoming 67th Grammy Awards.
With these nominations, Tems has become the most nominated Nigerian artist for this year’s ceremony, highlighting her continued rise and influence on the global music scene.
Tems secured nominations in the categories of Best African Music Performance, Best Global Album, and Best RnB Song, making her the highest nominated Nigerian artist for the 67th Grammys.
This achievement also marks a significant milestone in her career, as she becomes the first Nigerian female artist to have a Grammy-nominated album, with her debut project, Born In The Wild, earning a spot in the prestigious Best Global Album category.
Her single Burning has made history by earning her a nomination in the Best RnB Song category, making Tems the first African artist to achieve this feat.
This nomination is particularly groundbreaking, as she is now the first African female lead artist to receive recognition outside of the traditional global categories, underscoring her ability to transcend genres and appeal to a wider audience.
With these latest nods, Tems has extended her record as the Nigerian female artist with the most Grammy nominations to date, bringing her career total to six. This achievement further cements her legacy as a trailblazer in the African music industry.
Additionally, Tems’ three nominations at the 67th Grammys make her the second Nigerian artist with the highest number of nominations in a single Grammy year, only behind Burna Boy, who secured four nominations at the 66th Grammy Awards.
