Nigerian music sensation Tems has made headlines by leading the African Grammy nominations for 2025, securing three spots across various categories. This achievement solidifies her place in the music industry and highlights the global rise of African artists.

Tems received a Grammy nomination for Best R&B Song with her hit single “Burning.” She also received a nod for Best African Music Performance with the track “Love Me JeJe.” Her album “Born in the Wild” is up for Best Global Music Album, marking a significant recognition of her talent and impact.

In the same Grammy awards season, fellow Nigerian stars Wizkid, Burna Boy, Davido, Lojay, Asake, and Yemi Alade each received a nomination for Best African Music Performance. Rising star Rema also joins the ranks, with his album “Heis” nominated for Best Global Music Album.

Despite this recognition for African music, artists Ayra Starr and Tyla did not receive any nominations this year. However, the high number of African nominees highlights the growing influence of African sounds and artistry on the international stage. This is an exciting moment for African music, as artists like Tems continue to shine on a global level.
