Tems has revealed that she has surpassed her own dreams in the music industry.
The Love Me Jeje singer shared this during a recent fan Q&A on X.
When asked what she is currently looking forward to and whether she had achieved her dreams before stardom, Tems responded: “I’m looking forward to whatever the Lord has in store and honestly I’ve achieved beyond my dreams from when I had a 9-5.”
Tems began her music journey after leaving her job as a digital marketer in January 2018. She released her debut single, ‘Mr Rabel,’ later that year, which attracted media attention, but her breakthrough came in 2020 when she was featured on Wizkid’s single ‘Essence.’ The song gained international acclaim, reaching number 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 following a remix with Justin Bieber.
In 2023, Tems became the first female Afrobeats artist to win a Grammy, taking home the Best Melodic Rap Performance award for her collaboration with Future and Drake on ‘Wait For U’ at the 65th Annual Grammy Awards.
She followed this achievement in 2025 by winning the Grammy for Best African Music Performance, making her the only Nigerian artist with multiple Grammys.
Tems has also earned Oscar and Golden Globe nominations for co-writing Rihanna’s ‘Lift Me Up,’ further cementing her status as one of Nigeria’s most accomplished music exports.
