Afrobeats singer Tems has claimed her second Grammy Award, winning the Best African Music Performance category for her hit track “Love Me JeJe” at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards.

The Nigerian singer triumphed over a strong field of nominees, including Burna Boy with his song “Higher,” Asake and Wizkid’s collaboration “MMS,” Yemi Alade’s “Tomorrow,” and Chris Brown, who was the only non-Afrobeats nominee with his track “Sensational,” featuring Davido and Lojay.

Tems’ win solidifies her position at the forefront of the Afrobeats movement and adds to her growing list of accolades, which already includes a Grammy for her collaboration on Future’s “Wait for U.”
