Nigerian music star Tems is having another standout moment on the global stage after landing three nominations at the 2026 BET Awards.

She picked up nominations for Best Female R&B/Pop Artist, BET Her Award for her soulful track “First,” and the Viewers’ Choice Award for “Raindance,” her collaboration with British rapper Dave.

The recognition reflects how far Tems has come in a relatively short time, moving from a breakout voice out of Nigeria to one of the most closely watched names in global R&B. Her sound continues to connect across borders, with “First” earning praise for its simplicity and emotional pull, while “Raindance” shows her ease in working with international acts without losing her identity.
