Tems’ nominations highlight her versatility and the global appeal of her music. Her debut album, Born in the Wild, has been lauded for its innovative fusion of Afrobeat rhythms with contemporary R&B, earning her a spot in the Best Global Music Album category.
The track “Love Me Jeje” has garnered attention in two categories: Best Global Music Performance and Best African Music Performance. This dual recognition underscores the song’s impact and Tems’ ability to resonate with diverse audiences.
