Lagos State’s Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, praised Temilade Openiyi, or Tems, for her historic Grammy Awards win.
In a message sent on Monday afternoon, he emphasized her remarkable talent and commitment.
GistLover reports that at the 67th Grammy Awards on Sunday night, Tems won the Best African Music Performance award for her song ‘Love Me JeJe’.
Speaking in a post on his X handle, Sanwo-Olu wrote “I extend my heartfelt congratulations to Temilade Openiyi @temsbaby, for winning the Best African Music Performance at the 2025 Grammy Awards with her song ‘Love Me JeJe’.
“This historic achievement marks her as the first Nigerian artist to win in this category, showcasing her exceptional talent and dedication.
“I also commend our other Nigerian nominees, Burna Boy, Yemi Alade, Asake, Wizkid, and Davido for their outstanding contributions to music. Your artistry continues to elevate Nigeria’s presence on the global stage, and we are immensely proud of your accomplishments.”
In other news, Social media finance expert Emmanuel Obruste, known as GehGeh, commented on the results of the Grammy Awards that happened over the weekend.
According to GistLover, Tems triumphed over some male peers to win the Best African Music Performance award. She took a moment to celebrate her mother while accepting the honor.
In a video made by a self-proclaimed financial expert about the award, he stated that Davido cannot win a Grammy. GehGeh mentioned that the Grammy is simply using Davido to promote the award in Africa.
He also said that after Wizkid and Davido are featured, many Africans will continue to look forward to the award.
GehGeh mentioned that Drake has cautioned the award organizers regarding his work and has stopped sending in his songs for the awards.
According to GehGeh, the social media adviser, Davido was constantly expecting the award and was always enthusiastic, which is part of why he never got it.
In the recording, GehGeh said that those who don’t care about awards are often the ones who win them.
GehGeh also mentioned that if the Awuke singer wins an award, it should be a ‘gum body’ award, similar to the one Wizkid received with Beyoncé.
GehGeh pointed out that Davido’s loss will have an effect because many people see awards as a sign of talent. But the award wasn’t given for talent.
He recommended that Davido refrain from submitting his songs for the awards.
