At the BET Awards 2022, Tems won Best International Act, sponsored by Smirnoff.
The Lagos native dedicated the award to every single woman who does not believe she is capable of pursuing her dreams. “This is a dream where I’m from in Lagos, as you’re watching me, imagine yourself as me, you’re meant to be here, too,” Tems said as she accepted the award.
Anyone who has been listening to afro-beats in the last year or so has heard Tems’ deep, velvety voice, whether it’s the chart-topping hit song “Essence,” on which she collaborated with Wizkid, her debut EP “For Broken Ears,” or her most recent EP “If Orange Was a Place.”
