Nigerian singer Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems has announced that she will be travelling to Nairobi in the coming months.
Tems rose to global fame in 2020 after she was featured on WizKid’s summer hit Essence which earned her a Grammy nomination.
Wizkid became the first African musician to have a song on the Top 10 Billboard chart as a lead artist, and Tems earned her first Billboard Top 10 hit.
In a recent interview with Apple Music, she revealed that most of her music is freestyle, adding that she and WizKid did not anticipate that the Essence jam would amaze the world as it did.
“I recorded it at the beginning of 2020 and there wasn’t any lockdown at the time and the first freestyle he was there. When they played me the beat I was like this is my favourite,” Tems said.
