The All Progressives Congress (APC) has felicitated the popular Nigerian Afrobeats star, Tems, for winning her first-ever Grammy award.
On Sunday night, the female singer won the ‘Best Melodic Rap Performance’ category.
Her victory came due to her role in ‘Wait for U’, the 2022 hit song by Future featuring Drake.
The ruling party was on Twitter on Monday to commend the popular Afrobeats singer for being the “first female Nigerian artiste” to win the international award.
“Congratulations, Tems @temsbaby (Temilade Openiyi) on Grammy award – a 1st for a female Nigerian artiste,” the tweet reads.
“Tems, won the award in the Best Melodic Rap Performance category for her contribution to the hit song “Wait for U” – featuring Future and Drake. Proudly Nigerian.”
The Informant247 recalls that Tems and Burna Boy were the only Nigerian singers nominated for this year’s Grammy Awards.
Burna Boy, could not win the ‘Best Global Music Album’ and the ‘Best Global Music Performance’ categories of the international awards.
The 2023 edition of the Grammy Awards ceremony took place at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
