A former Artiste & Promotions Manager Of Sony Music ( Nigeria ) Chris Kehinde Nwandu has reacted to reports in certain sections of the media that Tems is the first Nigerian Female Grammy Award winner
This was his post on the topic
TEMS CANNOT BE THE FIRST FEMALE NIGERIAN TO WIN GRAMMYS ....CKN
I have seen and read even from those whom you expected to know better that Tems is the first Nigerian female artiste to win a Grammy
That's pure lie
It's either they've not heard the name SADE ADU or they've not listen to SWEETEST TABOO and so many hits from this mega star
Her mum is British but her dad is Nigerian from one of the States of the South West
Just like SEAL a Nigerian born US based artiste who won about Grammy in the 90s with KISS OF THE ROSE , Sade Adu is the first Nigerian born female artiste to win that prestigious award
That does not in any way diminish the achievement of highly talented Tems who probably is the FIRST HOME BASED NIGERIAN FEMALE ARTISTE TO WIN THE GRAMMY AWARD
Just For The Records
