While Tems and Ayra Starr have yet to release a collaborative track, anticipation is high among fans, with even Rihanna expressing excitement and readiness to join the Nigerian stars on a potential future project.
Tems and Ayra Starr are two of Nigeria’s most successful global music exporters, both receiving several honors. Tems became the first Nigerian female artist to win a Grammy when she contributed to Future’s “Wait For U,” which won Best Melodic Rap Performance at the 65th Grammys.
Ayra Starr, meanwhile, became the first Nigerian female artist to receive a nomination as a lead act at the Grammys, earning a nod for her hit single “Rush” in the Best African Song Performance category at the 66th Grammys.
Both artists have continued their impressive global ascent with new releases in 2024. Tems‘ highly anticipated debut album “Born In The Wild” and Ayra Starr’s acclaimed sophomore album “The Year I Turned 21,” featuring collaborations with Giveon, Coco Jones, Anita, Seyi Vibez, and Asake, have further solidified their status in the international music scene.
