Tems, the Nigerian star also known as Temilade Openiyi, secured her fourth BET Awards at the Peacock Theater in Downtown Los Angeles on Monday.

Established in 2001 by Black Entertainment Television, the BET Awards honor the achievements of Black entertainers and other underrepresented groups in music, film, sports, and philanthropy.

At the 2024 ceremony, Tems triumphed in the Dr. Bobby Jones Best Gospel/Inspirational Award category with her 2023 song “Me & U,” prevailing over esteemed artists such as CeCe Winans, Maverick City Music, and Kirk Franklin.

Previously, Tems had clinched BET awards for Best International Act and Best Collaboration for Wizkid’s “Essence” in 2022. Additionally, she won the Best Collaboration award in 2023 for her track “Wait for U” with Drake and Future, also earning recognition at the BET Hip Hop Awards the previous year.
