Tems has been on the rise since she appeared on Wizkid's international smash hit 'Essence,' which was later remixed by Justin Bieber and peaked at number 9 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Drake included her on the track 'Fountain' from his 2021 album 'Certified Lover Boy.' She would also appear alongside Drake on Future's 'Wait For U,' which debuted at the top of the Billboard Hot 100.
She was most recently featured on Beyonce's Dance album 'Renaissance' on the single 'Grace.'
Tems' achievement of surpassing one billion Spotify streams attests to her international success and rise as one of the biggest Afrobeats exports.
Tems has also had some solo success, with her single 'Free Mind' spending 17 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 after debuting two years ago.
She'd like to keep the momentum going after revealing that an album is already in the works. According to all indications, the album will capture the attention of her growing international audience.
