Nigerian singer and songwriter, Temilade Openiyi, has won her first Grammy Award for her feature
in the 2022 hit song by Future, ’Wait for U’.
Tems bagged the Best Melodic Rap Performance award alongside Future and Drake on Sunday night
at the cryto.com Arena in Los Angeles, making her the first African to win the Grammy Award in that
category, making the first Nigerian female artiste to win the prestigious award.
Tems, who got her first Grammy nomination for her role in Wizkid’s hit song ‘Essence’, has continued
to soar in the industry.
In the other hand, Burna Boy’s hope of winning another Grammy Award was dashed after he lost his
two nominations.
He lost the Best Global Song performance for which ‘Last Last’ was nominated for and the Best
Global Album for which ‘Love, Damini’ was nominated.
Meanwhile, Beyoncé has become the most awarded artiste in Grammy’s history as she bagged four
new grammy awards to take her tally to 32 last night.
The singer won best R&B song, best dance/electronic recording, best dance/electronic album, and
best traditional R&B performance at the 2023 Grammy Awards held in Los Angeles.
After winning the record-breaking prize for the dance/electronic album award, Beyonce appreciated
her husband, Jay Z, and her fans for their support.
The singer surpassed the 26-year-old record once held by the late Hungarian-British conductor,
Georg Solti.
Meanwhile, English singer and songwriter, Harry Styles won the coveted album of the year award
beating Beyonce, Adele, and Kendrick Lamar to the prize.
