29 year old Nigerian songstress Temilade Openiyi aka Tems, has become the first African female artiste to have a song reach 1 billion streams on Spotify. She achieved this via her collabo with Future and Drake, ‘Wait For U,’ which recently hit the 1 bn milestone on Spotify. The song debuted at No 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 chart, making Tems the first African artist to debut atop the chart. ‘Wait for U’ got 2 nominations at the 65th Annual Grammy Awards, for Best Rap Song and Best Melodic Rap Performance, winning the latter.

Don’t forget: If America didn’t celebrate her first, she wouldn’t rise past entertaining weekly during Sunday choir. Where is Wurld today? The man is of equal talent. |

meobizy:No Igbo artist dead or alive has ever made hundred thousand stream on Spotify . If Olamide didn't celebrate Asake first, he probably would have not become a star. Place some value in yourself. I know being Igbo for you is frustrating and worthless. Be proud 1 Like |
