Talented Nigerian singer Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has made Nigeria proud as she debuts at the No. 1 spot on Billboard Hot 100 charts.
Tems made the laudable achievement with her feature on “Wait For U” by American rapper, Future.
The track also featured Canadian artiste, Drake, and is the seventh on Future’s new LP album, “I Never Liked You.“
While this is her first No.1, Tems had earlier debuted on the Hot 100 in October 2021 peaking at No. 9 on the charts, with her feature on Essence remix by Wizkid which also featured Justin Bieber.
Wizkid was the first Nigerian to reach the top of Billboard’s Hot 100 with his feature on Drake’s song, “One Dance.“
With the latest achievement, Tems is currently trending on the microblogging platform Twitter as Nigerians showered accolades on her calling her ‘Big Tems’.
