Singer Tems Finally Receives Grammy Award Plaque

Sensational Tems, a singer from Nigeria, has been awarded a plaque for her Grammy.

On Friday, June 2, 2023, Muyiwa Awoniyi, her manager, shared this information in a post on his Instagram stories.

Her collaboration with Drake on Future’s song “Wait for You,” which won the award for Best Rap Melodic Performance, earned her the accolade.

Muyiwa shared a photo of someone holding up the trophy.

This is the first Grammy she has ever won, despite the fact that the song was nominated for Best Rap Song.

Following Sade Adu, Tems is the second female musician from Nigeria to get a Grammy. Sade won a Grammy for Best New Artist in 1986.

A while back, Tems spoke out after she was heavily criticized for her outfit to the 2023 Oscars.

The singer trended on social media on Monday after rocking a flamboyant white dress with a long train and huge shoulder piece that wrapped around her head.

It is evident from videos shared online that those seated behind her struggled to see the stage because her shoulder piece obstructed their view.

This sparked a huge controversy online as some netizens dragged her to filth for her choice of outfit to the star-studded event.

Many tagged her “rude” and “selfish” for blocking the view of others in a bid to make a fashion statement.

Following the backlash she received on the internet, Tems took to her Instagram page to release official photos of her outfit to the event with a dramatic caption.

“Uh Ohh!” she wrote, hinting that she is aware of the drama caused by her outfit.
