Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has congratulated Nigerian singer, songwriter, and record producer, Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, on winning her second Grammy Award for Best African Music Performance.

Tems’ hit song, Love Me Jeje, was named the winner of the Best African Music Performance category at the 67th Grammy Awards, held in Los Angeles, United States, on Sunday.

She clinched the prestigious award over other notable nominations, including Tomorrow by Yemi Alade, MMS by Asake featuring Wizkid, Sensational by Chris Brown featuring Davido and Lojay, and Higher by Burna Boy.

In addition to this win, Tems was also nominated for Best Global Music Album (Born in the Wild) and Best R&B Song (Burning).

In a statement issued on Monday by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Gboyega Akosile, Sanwo-Olu described the award as a prestigious recognition that highlights Tems’ exceptional talent and her significant contribution to the music industry, not just in Nigeria and Africa, but on the global stage.

The governor further noted that the 29-year-old Tems has achieved a major milestone with this international recognition.

Sanwo-Olu also emphasized that Tems’ Grammy win is a testament to Lagos’ status as the true home of entertainment, creativity, tourism, culture, and arts.

He said: “Temilade Openiyi once again has proved to the world that she is a creative of an uncommon talent. We thank her for bringing the Best African Music Performance Grammy back to Nigeria. As a Lagosian, we are excited with her success.

“Tems winning the 67th Grammy Award for Best African Music Performance is a confirmation that our dear Lagos State remains the hub of entertainment, creativity and tourism in the West African sub-region.

“On behalf of my family, the government, and the people of Lagos State, I congratulate Tems for achieving this great feat, and I urge her not to rest on her oars as the future remains a lot brighter than it is today.”
