As the excitement for the 2025 Grammy Awards intensifies, Tems has made history with an impressive three nominations, and fellow artists Ayra Starr and Tyla are joining in the celebration.
Despite both Ayra Starr and Tyla being notably absent from the nominations, with many considering them among the biggest snubs by the Recording Academy, they took to social media to support Tems’ groundbreaking achievements. Tems is now the most nominated African act for the 67th edition of the prestigious awards.
Tems’ nominations span across significant categories, including the coveted Best R&B Song, Best Global Album, and Best African Music Performance. The Best R&B Song nomination, in particular, marks a milestone for African artists, having been traditionally seen as an elusive category for acts from the continent.
Both Ayra Starr and Tyla expressed their excitement and admiration for Tems’ accomplishments. Tyla shared a heartfelt message of congratulations on her page, while Ayra Starr retweeted Tems’ post, joining in the celebration of her historic moment.
