Superstar singer, Tems, delivered a heartfelt speech as she accepted the Best African Music Performance award for her song Love Me Jeje at the 67th Grammy Awards.

Taking the stage, an emotional Tems expressed gratitude, saying, “Wow, dear God. Thank you so much for putting me on this stage and bringing me this team.

“Tomorrow is my mum’s birthday and this is her first Grammys. I just want to thank you ma because she has really done a lot for me and my brother.

“Happy birthday mum. And I want to thank my team. Muyiwa, Wale, my beautiful stylist, and lovely girls… I love you guys.

“Thank you so much. To God be the glory. Honestly, He has changed my life so much.”

Tems won the Best African Music Performance category at the 67th Grammy Awards with her song Love Me Jeje.

This marks Tems’ second Grammy win, following her first award for her contribution to Future’s hit single Wait For U.

In a highly competitive category, Love Me Jeje triumphed over Yemi Alade’s Tomorrow, Asake’s MMS, Chris Brown’s Sensational (featuring Davido & Lojay), and Burna Boy’s Higher. Notably, all the nominees in this year’s category were Nigerian artists, highlighting the country’s continued dominance on the global music stage.

Tems’ latest Grammy win further cements her status as one of Africa’s most celebrated global music icons.

The Best African Music Performance category, introduced only last year, was previously won by South African star Tyla for her hit single Water.

Tems’ victory this year continues to showcase the rich talent emerging from the continent.

The 67th Grammy Awards took place at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Sunday.
