Tems makes history as she bags Grammy award

Some weeks ago, Legit.ng reported that congratulatory messages poured in for the Nigerian music diva after she smiled home with her very first Grammy award.

The music powerhouse snagged the coveted award for her efforts on international rapper, Future’s Wait For You.

"Congratulations to her. But Tems isn't the first female Nigerian to win a Grammy. Sade ADU is. Has a matter of fact has 4 Grammies to her name," an IG user wrote.

Unfortunately, her colleague Burna Boy, who was nominated in two different Grammy categories, lost out to others.
