Kicking off 2025 in spectacular fashion, Tems earned three nominations at the 67th Grammy Awards, where she made history by winning her second Grammy for Best African Music Performance—becoming the first Nigerian artist to claim the prestigious award.
She also set new records as the first Nigerian female artist nominated in the Best Global Album category and the first Nigerian artist to earn a nomination for Best R&B Song.
