Afrobeats singer David Adeleke also known as Davido has congratulated his colleague Tems for winning the “Best African Music Performance” category at the 67th Grammy Awards.
Tems won her second Grammy with her popular song “Love Me Jeje.” She had previously won a Grammy for her work on Future’s number-one single “Wait For U.”
Davido wrote “Congrats Queen!” as the caption for a picture he posted of the musician on his Instagram story.
The Best African Music Performance category was introduced by the Recording Academy last year. Asake’s MMS, Chris Brown’s Sensational (with Davido & Lojay), Burna Boy’s Higher, and Yemi Alade’s Tomorrow were among the nominees this year.
Tyla of South Africa won the inaugural Best African Music Performance award for her popular song Water, which combines Afropop and South African amapiano.
As she accepted the medal, Tems paid homage to her mother.
“Wow, dear God,” remarked an emotional Tems as he took the stage. I sincerely appreciate you giving me this team and placing me on stage. This is my mother’s first Grammy, and tomorrow is her birthday. Since my mother has done so much for my brother and me, I just wanted to say thank you.
“Happy birthday, mom. And my staff deserves my gratitude. Wale, Muyiwa, my gorgeous stylist Dunsin, and my sweet girls… I cherish all of you. Many thanks. Glory to God. To be honest, he has had a significant impact on my life. Thank you, God, thank you.
