Tems, a singer from Nigeria, became the nation’s first female artist to receive a Grammy Award on Sunday.

Burna Boy, a fellow countryman, was unsuccessful in the two categories in which he was nominated.

Temilade Openiyi, better known by her stage name Tems, took home the prize for Best Melodic Rap Performance for her part in the popular song Wait for U, which she co-wrote with Drake and Future.

Tems is yet to comment publicly on the news, but fans have been congratulating her on social media.
