Tems Becomes First African Female Artist To Surpass 1 Billion Streams On Spotify

Nigerian singer-songwriter, Temilade Openiyi, well known as Tems has etched her name in history as the first African female artist to surpass 1 billion streams on Spotify.

It is an extraordinary feat that cements her position as a global powerhouse in music.

This milestone was largely propelled by her collaboration on Future’s 2022 smash hit, “Wait For U,” featuring Drake. The track, off Future’s chart-topping album I Never Liked You, has remained a streaming sensation, proving Tems’ star power extends beyond borders.

More Records, More Legacy

As if one streaming milestone wasn’t enough, Tems’ sophomore EP, “If Orange Was a Place,” has also crossed 300 million streams on Spotify. This achievement further solidifies her status as one of Nigeria’s most celebrated exports, with an influence that stretches across continents.

From humble beginnings to global domination, Tems continues to shatter barriers and redefine the presence of African women in the music industry.

Her ability to consistently break records highlights not only her individual brilliance but also the growing global embrace of Afrobeats and African talent on mainstream platforms.

With every milestone, Tems proves that she isn’t just riding the wave—she is the wave.
