Nigerian superstar Davido extend his heartfelt congratulations to fellow artists Tems and Chris Brown following their victories at the 2025 Grammy Awards.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter) on February 3, 2025, Davido expressed his pride and admiration for the two stars, both of whom had significant wins in their respective categories. His message, filled with enthusiasm, reinforced the strong camaraderie among artists in the industry, celebrating their achievements on a global stage.
In his post, Davido affectionately referred to Tems as the “Queen,” highlighting the immense impact she has made in the Afrobeats and R&B scenes. He wrote, “Congratulations to my one and only! @chrisbrown! And to the Queen, @temsbaby We are proud of you!”
His words resonated with fans who flooded the comments with messages of support, cheering on Tems and Chris Brown for their hard-earned victories. It was a moment of unity in the music industry, with artists uplifting one another and celebrating their collective wins.
The night was particularly historic for Tems, who secured the Best African Song Performance award for her hit single Love Me Jeje. This achievement was groundbreaking, as she became the first Nigerian artist to win in that category, following South Africa’s Tyla, who claimed the award the previous year.
The category was stacked with fierce competition, featuring heavyweights such as Davido himself, Wizkid, Asake, and Burna Boy. However, Tems’ soulful rendition and artistry propelled her to victory, further cementing her place as one of Africa’s most globally recognized music stars.
Amidst the wave of congratulations, fellow Nigerian singer Ayra Starr also took to X to celebrate Tems’ win. She shared an enthusiastic post, writing, “Temssbabyyyyyy congratulations my love!!!!!”
Her excitement mirrored the collective pride felt by many in the Nigerian music industry, as Tems’ victory was seen as a win for all. The recognition of Afrobeats on such a grand stage underscored the genre’s growing influence and the incredible talent emerging from Africa.
Chris Brown also had a triumphant night, taking home the award for Best R&B Album for his project 11:11. This marked a significant moment in his career, as it was his first Grammy win in over a decade, with his last victory in the same category dating back to 2013.
His long-awaited triumph sparked jubilation among fans and fellow celebrities, who flooded social media with celebratory messages. The Grammy Awards this year not only honored individual excellence but also highlighted the evolving landscape of global music, where Afrobeats, R&B, and diverse musical influences continue to merge and captivate audiences worldwide.
