When Tems was an upcoming artist, she faced countless rejections. “No one wanted to produce for me because they didn’t believe in me,” she recalls. Undeterred, she believed in her own potential and took matters into her own hands. She bought some equipment, taught herself how to produce music, and began building her career independently. This determination and self-reliance eventually led her to meet Wizkid, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Fast forward to today, Tems is the most popular female artist in Africa. With multiple Billboard awards, an Oscar nomination, and billions of streams to her name, she has broken barriers and set new standards. She is also the only Nigerian female artist to have won a Grammy.
Tems’ popularity has soared through collaborations with global superstars such as J. Cole, Drake, Future, Beyoncé, Rihanna, DJ Khaled, and many more. In just four years, her career has been nothing short of miraculous.
Today, as she turns 29, we celebrate Tems—a true queen in the music industry. Her journey from self-producing artist to international sensation is an inspiration to many.
Happy Birthday, Tems! 🎉🎂👑 Let’s celebrate this incredible artist and her remarkable achievements!
