Nominated for the Best African Act category, Nigerian artists Burna Boy, Tems, and Ayra Starr will face off against Ghanaian star Black Sherif and South African star Musa Keys and Tanzanian singer and songwriter Zuchu. Now, that’s a killer category. Everyone knows the level of moves these artists made this year.
Tems scored more than one nod, also appearing in the Best New Artist category (alongside Baby Keem, Dove Cameron, GAYLE, SEVENTEEN, and Stephen Sanchez). Tems had an Amazing year, appearing as a featured act on Beyoncé’s latest album “Renaissance” and also on Futures (which scored her first chart-topper). Good luck to them.
