She won the award defeating Fireboy, Dave Dinos from France, Fally Ipupa from Congo, Little Simz from the United Kingdom, Ludmilla from Brazil, Tayo (France), and Major League Djz from South Africa.

Tems, who accepted the award at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday night, dedicated it to every single woman, particularly those in Nigeria who may not believe they can pursue their dreams.

“Thank you so much for this, thank you so much. It is an honour, this is my first award show that I’m winning something and I just want to use this as an opportunity to speak to every single young, old, whatever, every single woman watching this, every single girl watching this at home, Temilade said.

“Where I am from, things like this don’t happen.”

Meanwhile, Wizkid and Tems took home the award for best collaboration for ‘Essence,’ which featured Justin Bieber.
