Nigerian singer and Grammy Awards Winner Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has made history as the first female African artist to achieve 1 billion streams on Spotify.
Her milestone comes courtesy of Wait For U, her 2022 collaboration with Future and Drake, which recently crossed the billion-stream mark on the platform.
The track, which samples Tems’ Higher from her 2020 EP For Broken Ears, debuted at No. 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100, making her the first African artist to achieve a chart-topping debut.
At the 65th Annual Grammy Awards, Wait For U received nominations for Best Rap Song and Best Melodic Rap Performance, ultimately winning the latter.
