Temilade Openiyi, better known as Tems, has expressed her gratitude to female trailblazers in the Nigerian music industry.
She took to Twitter to thank female Nigerian musicians who paved the way in the music industry and served as inspiration to her.
She mentioned Asa, Omawunmi, Tiwa Savage, Yemi Alade, Waje, Simi, Niniola, and others in a series of tweets.
Tems tweeted on Tuesday, “I’m taking today to appreciate all the sisters today. Thank you for existing, thank you for deciding to get up and do something because someone saw that and became inspired by it. @Asa_official @Omawumi @TiwaSavage @yemialadee @OfficialWaje @SympLySimi @OfficialNiniola.”
She also named rising stars like herself, and promised they were all going to shake the music industry “like a Tsunami.”
“@amaarae @Gyakie_ @ayrastarr @faveszn @TeniEntertainer, when I see anyone of you gracing a stage, I feel like that’s me. We’re all winning and we’re about to move in like a Tsunami. So before it starts, know that love lives on this side, as we show the world how it’s done.
“And if I missed any messages, it is definitely unintentional. I don’t take your kind words and support for granted. I’m sending you all love today because you DESERVE it. Love always,” she wrote.
Omawunmi tweeted in response to the shout-out, “I’m truly humbled! Massive Congratulations. To the sky and above!”
“Tems all the way. I love you big!” Asa also replied.
“A queen I Stan,” Waje responded.
Her tweets of gratitude come after her wins at the 2022 BET Awards on Sunday.
Temilade won the Best International Act award, beating out UK's Dave and her Nigerian counterpart, Fireboy DML.
Wizkid's "Essence," which featured Tems and Canadian superstar Justin Bieber, was also named BET Best Collaboration.
