Nigerian Singer, Tems has unlocked a new milestone in her music career by becoming the first African female artist to surpass 1 billion streams on Spotify. This milestone comes with the success of “WAIT FOR U,” a track by Future featuring both Tems and Drake. The song not only garnered widespread popularity, debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, but also earned a Grammy Award for Best Melodic Rap Performance.
While the success of “WAIT FOR U” also marks another achievement for Future—his fourth song to cross the 1 billion mark—this is particularly significant for Tems. The Nigerian artist’s meteoric rise in the music industry has been a beacon for African talent on the global stage. Her collaborations with top artists across genres have amplified her influence, signaling a brighter future for African artists in mainstream music.
This achievement represents a broader moment of recognition for African music, especially as Tems continues to break barriers for women in the industry. With more African voices making waves globally, Tems’ milestone paves the way for future female artists to establish themselves in the international music scene.
