Tems has made history by becoming the first Nigerian female artist to win a Grammy award. Her win in the category of Best Melodic Rap Performance for her song “WAIT FOR U” featuring Future/Freedbanz, and Drake has put the Nigerian music industry on the global map and has been met with widespread excitement and celebration.
Instagram blogger, Tunde Ednut, took to his verified Instagram page to express his thoughts on the win and to call for respect for Tems. In his post, he wrote “Because TEMS is female, we are not seeing that she’s gradually becoming the best artiste in Nigeria, if not Africa. Best artiste, not best female artiste, I mean “BEST ARTISTE” in general. She just won GRAMMY AWARDS last night. Give her some respect. SUPER WOMAN.”
Tunde Ednut’s call for respect is well-placed, as female artists often do not receive the recognition they deserve in the male-dominated music industry.
Tems’ Grammy win is a significant achievement for not just herself but for the entire Nigerian music industry. It represents a milestone in the industry, a testament to her talent and hard work, and a validation of the growing strength and influence of the Nigerian music scene.
Tems’ win serves as an inspiration to young people, particularly young girls, to pursue their dreams and to believe in themselves. Her win sends a message that anything is possible with hard work and determination, regardless of gender.
Tems’ Grammy win is a momentous occasion that deserves to be celebrated. It is a win for Tems, for female artists, and for the entire Nigerian music industry. We hope that this win will encourage more young people to pursue their dreams and to continue to push the boundaries in their respective fields.
We also hope that Tems will continue to receive the recognition and respect she deserves and that her win will inspire more female artists to break through in the industry.
