In an emotional Grammy-award-acceptance speech on Sunday evening, Nigerian singer Tems said her "heart was beating so fast". She saw off the likes of Yemi Alade, Burna Boy and Wizkid to take home the Best African Music Performance prize for her hit Love Me Jeje.

Fans of Nigerian artist Yemi Alade have showered her with praises and congratulatory messages for receiving a Grammy Nominee Medal.

This year, eight Nigerian-based artists are nominated, with Tems and Yemi Alade standing as the women among them.

Singer Temilade Openiyi aka Tems won the Best African Music Performance award at the 67th Grammy ahead of Burna Boy, Asake, Davido and Yemi Alade.

The music star is bringing on his African giant aura in this edition. Burna Boy’s dominance in African music is undeniable, and his consistent presence at the Grammys proves it. A past winner for Twice As Tall (2021) and a six-time nominee, he returns this year with Higher, a song that cements his role as a global ambassador of Afrobeats.

Nigerian afrobeats star Tems has won her second Grammy with her hit "Love Me JeJe" seeing off a line-up heavily dominated by Nigerian artists vying for "Best African Musical Performance".

A popular supporter of music star Burna Boy has bragged about his achievements in the music industry amid singer Tems win at the 67th Grammy Awards.
