    Nigerian award-winning singer Tems has achieved a historic milestone, becoming the first African female artist to surpass 1 billion streams with a song on Spotify.

    The record-breaking achievement comes from Future’s hit single “WAIT FOR U,” featuring Drake and Tems, which has officially crossed the 1 billion streams mark on the platform.

    The song, a fan favorite, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and won a Grammy Award for Best Melodic Rap Performance.

    For Future, ‘WAIT FOR U’ marks his fourth song to reach this milestone, further cementing his legacy in hip-hop. Drake, already a streaming powerhouse, now adds this to his collection of 21 songs with over 1 billion streams.

    However, the biggest highlight belongs to Tems, whose meteoric rise in the global music industry continues to shatter records.

    From her early days in Nigeria to becoming one of the most sought-after collaborators in the world, she remains a trailblazer for African artists on the global stage.

    This milestone is more than just a personal win—it’s a game-changing moment for African music, especially for female artists, proving once again that African talent is here to stay.
