Nigerian Afrobeat sensation David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido has congratulated fellow singer, Temilade Openiyi, famously known as Tems for emerging winner of the Best African Music Performance category at the 67th Grammy Awards on Sunday.
LEADERSHIP reports that Tems shone at the 67th Grammy Awards which took place at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, United States of America.
In an Instagram Story on Monday, Davido celebrated Tems’ victory with the word ‘Congrats Queen!”
Tems secured the Grammy with her hit song ‘Love Me, Jeje,’ marking her second win after previously earning a Grammy for her contribution to Future’s chart-topping single ‘Wait For U.’
The singer made a tribute to her mum while receiving the award, she said, “Wow, dear God. Thank you so much for putting me on this stage and bringing me this team.
“Tomorrow is my mum’s birthday and this is her first Grammys. I just want to thank you Ma because she has really done a lot for me and my brother.
“Happy birthday mum. And I want to thank my team. Muyiwa, Wale, my beautiful stylist, and lovely girls… I love you guys.
“Thank you so much. To God be the glory. Honestly, He has changed my life so much.”
The Best African Music Performance category had the likes of Yemi Alade’s Tomorrow, Asake’s MMS, Chris Brown’s Sensational (featuring Davido & Lojay), and Burna Boy’s Higher competing for the award.
The category, introduced only last year, was previously won by South African star Tyla for her hit single ‘Water.’
