GRAMMY award winner, Temilade Openiyi, well known as Tems, has picked up another award at the 2024 BET Awards, which is an American award show that was established in 2001.
The 2024 BET Awards took place on Sunday (June 30) as the awards were presented at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, with Taraji P. Henson hosting for the third time.
Surprisingly, Tems was the only Nigerian to win an award as her hit song “Me & U” saw off competition from Gospel giants like Kirk Franklin, Shirley Caesar, Maverick City, and others to win the Dr Bobby Jones Best Gospel/Inspirational Award.
