Following the 67th Annual Grammy Awards held on February 2, 2025, Nigerian artists Davido and Ayra Starr took to social media to congratulate their compatriot, Tems, on her remarkable achievement.
Tems secured her second Grammy by winning the Best African Music Performance category for her song “Love Me JeJe,” a track that pays homage to Seyi Sodimu’s 1997 hit of the same name.
Davido, who was nominated in the same category for “Sensational,” a collaboration with Chris Brown and Lojay, expressed his admiration for Tems’ accomplishment. He shared on X (formerly Twitter): “Congratulations to my one and only! @chrisbrown! And to the Queen @temsbaby we are proud of you!”
Ayra Starr also extended her heartfelt congratulations to Tems. She posted: “Temssbabyyyyyyy congratulations my love!”
Tems’ victory in the Best African Music Performance category is particularly significant, as she surpassed notable artists including Yemi Alade’s “Tomorrow,” Asake & Wizkid’s “MMS,” Chris Brown featuring Davido & Lojay’s “Sensational,” and Burna Boy’s “Higher.”
This collective celebration among Nigerian artists underscores the unity and mutual support within the country’s vibrant music industry.
