Tems is also nominated for Best Global Music Album for her debut album “Born in the Wild”, alongside Rema who received his first Grammy nomination for his sophomore project “HEIS” . This is a huge deal for Nigerian music on the global stage!
It’s worth noting that some critics feel the Grammys don’t fully represent the diversity of African music, focusing too much on Afrobeats . However, this year’s nominations are still a big win for Nigerian artists and a testament to their growing influence worldwide.
