It's a Big Win For Afrobeats as Nigerian Artists Wizkid, Tems, Burna Boy, Made & Femi Kuti Bag 2022 Grammys Nominations.
Best Global Music Album nominations went to Wizkid’s “Made In Lagos (Deluxe)” and Femi Kuti and Made Kuti‘s “Legacy+,” while Best Global Music Performance went to Wizkid again for “Essence” with Tems, Burna Boy, and Angelique Kidjo on “Do Yourself“, and Femi Kuti’s “Pà Pá Pà.”
Tems has had a spectacular rise this year and continues to blaze a trail for young women in Alté. She has established herself as one of the most passionate young artists in the Nigerian music industry over the last two years. Her international recognition grew with the release of a series of notable singles and albums, including her collaboration with Drake on the song “Fountains” off his album “Certified Lover Boy,” and she has since become an artist to watch.
