- Davido has risen above his loss to express his heartfelt congratulations to Tems, who recently won her second Grammy Award at the 67th Grammys.
- She won the award with her song Love Me JeJe, defeating Yemi Alade, Asake, Chris Brown, Davido, Lojay, and Burna Boy.
Famous Nigerian singer, David Adedeji Adeleke better known as Davido, has congratulated Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems on her latest win.
The songstress won the Best African Music Performance award at the 67th Grammys on Sunday, January 2, 2025 at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
Tems’ hit song, ‘Love Me Jeje’ emerged victorious over “Tomorrow” (Yemi Alade); “MMS” (Asake & Wizkid); “Sensational” (Chris Brown featuring Davido & Lojay); and “Higher” (Burna Boy).
“Love Me Jeje”, a sample of Seyi Sodimu’s 1997 song of the same title, has received critical acclaim from global music buffs following its release last April.
Tems had received three nominations at this year’s Grammys, bringing her career nomination to a total of eight. Her big win at this year’s Grammys makes it her second Grammy win because in 2023, she won the Best Melodic Rap Performance category for her contribution to the hit song, ‘Wait for U’, with Future and Drake.
Reacting, Davido in a statement on his X and Instagram pages said he is proud of Tems. He wrote:
”Congratulations to my one and only! @chrisbrown! And to the Queen @temsbaby we are proud of you.”
”Congrats Queen!
@temsbaby @donawon !!.”

The singer was nominated for Best African Music category, which Tyla’s Water won; Best Global Music Performance, which Pashto by Bela Fleck, Edgar Meyer, and Zakir Hussain featuring Rakesh Chaurasia won and Best Global Albuforto Shakti’s The Moment.
