Nigerian R&B sensation Tems has etched her name in Grammy history, becoming the highest-nominated Nigerian artist at the 67th Grammy Awards with three prestigious nominations. Her recognition spans multiple genres, with nods for **Best African Music Performance**, **Best Global Album**, and **Best R&B Song**.
Tems’ debut album, *Born in the Wild*, clinched a nomination for **Best Global Album**, marking her as the first Nigerian female artist with a Grammy-nominated album. She also made history as the first African artist to be nominated in the **R&B category**, with her single *Burning* receiving critical acclaim.
These nominations set Tems apart, making her the first African female lead artist recognized outside global categories. Her Grammy nods now total six, a record for Nigerian female artists. Additionally, her three nominations at this year’s awards place her as the second most-nominated Nigerian artist in a single Grammy year, following Burna Boy’s four nominations at the 66th Grammy Awards.
Tems’ achievements not only highlight her individual talent but also underscore the increasing global recognition of African music.
