Top Nigerian artists have joined music fans from across the world to congratulate singer Tems on winning a Grammy award.
She won the Best Melodic Rap Performance category for her contribution to the hit song Wait for U with Future and Drake.
They beat a strong field which included Kendrick Lamar and DJ Khaled.
Artists including Tiwa Savage, Waje and Omowunmi have posted messages congratulating Tems.
“It’s Tems’ time. Nobody can stop her shine. Superstar,” posted Afrobeat singer Olamide.
Some fans on Twitter have been hailing her as the first Nigerian female artist to win a Grammy.
However, others argue that historic first was achieved by British-Nigerian singer Sade, whose real name is Helen Folasade Adu. She has won the award four times.
Tems, 27, whose real name is Temilade Openiyi, has been praised by fellow artists for her vocal talent.
