The 21-year-old singer, celebrated for her vibrant sound, has enjoyed a good year with chart-topping releases and acclaimed performances across global stages.

Her BET nominations follow her recent wins at the Headies Awards, where she was named Best Female Artist, reinforcing her status as one of Nigeria’s fastest-rising artists.

Grammy-winning singer Tems, known for her soulful music, earned two nominations in the BET Her category for her powerful tracks “Burning” and “Hold On,” both from her debut album Born In The Wild.
Afrobeats heavyweights Burna Boy and Rema were both nominated for Best International Act, underscoring their sustained influence on the global music scene. Burna Boy, a dominant force in the genre, is no stranger to this category, having taken home the award four times.
