Tems has won not one, but two awards at the 2022 BET Awards. At the awards ceremony held last night, the fast-rising singer clinched the Best International Act award and Best Collaboration for Wizkid’s groundbreaking single – Essence, featuring herself and Canadian singer, Justin Bieber.
Tems was nominated alongside other talented acts such as Nigeria’s Peru singer Fireboy, Dave (UK), Dinos (France), Fally Ipupa (Congo), Little Simz (UK), Ludmilla (Brazil), Major League Djz (South Africa), and Tayc (France).
The talented singer had kind words to share while receiving her award:
“Thank you so much for this, thank you so much. It’s an honour… I mean, this is my first award show that I’m winning something and I just want to use this as an opportunity to speak to every single young, old, whatever, every single woman watching this, every single girl watching this at home. Where I’m from, things like this don’t happen.”
