The singer-songwriter is nominated alongside English best-selling music artist, Adele; Latino fan-favourite, Camilo; Australian singer and record producer, Tones and I; Asian boy band, BTS; European superstar, Rosalía and North American sweetheart, Olivia Rodrigo.
Describing the ‘Try Me’ crooner, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Paramount in Africa, Monde Twala said “Tems reminds us of why we set out on a journey to reimagine, reshape and rebrand Africa.”
He went on further to say that “African stars like her are living proof of the rich and diverse talent that exists in Africa. Elevating African talent on a global level is the heartbeat of our brands.”
“Shining a light on talent on our continent will continue to be part of our vision. We are glad that today, we can spotlight the body of work of a vibrant African talent like Tems,” he added.

“Her nomination as Global Music Star for Nickelodeon’s Kids Choice Awards is evidence that African creatives have what it takes to take on the global stage and more importantly to share African stories with the world, in this case through music.”
