Singer and songwriter Temilade Openiyi, better known as Tems, has once again put Nigeria on the world map after she made a stunning appearance at the O2 Arena in London during Aston Martin’s unveiling for the 2025 Formula 1 season.
This event, which included the F1 75 Live celebration, saw Tems captivate the audience with a live performance of her song, Higher, a hit from her 2020 debut EP, For Broken Ears.
Tems’ participation at the car race launch reflected Formula 1’s move to appeal to audiences beyond conventional racing fans.
Sharing a video from Tems’ performance, her manager Muyiwa Awoniyi wrote in the caption:
“This one is special @temsbaby unveiling the new @AstonMartinF1 2025 car at the @F1 75 live show at the O2 Arena in London.”
