The comparison between Tems and Tiwa Savage has sparked a viral conversation on the internet. While Tems has been regarded as one of the fast-rising faces of Afrobeats, Tiwa Savage has been recognized as the Queen of Afrobeats for some time now. The debate on who is the better singer between the two has been ongoing, especially after Tiwa Savage’s viral performance at the coronation ceremony of King Charles III.
Tems gained widespread fame after being featured on Wizkid’s hit song “Essence” in 2020. She has since become an international artist and has worked with Western singers such as Drake and Future. Recently, she even won a Grammy Award, which has fueled the comparison between her and Tiwa Savage.
Some Nigerians believe that Tems is a better singer than Tiwa Savage, citing her quick rise to fame and success in the music industry. Others, however, remain convinced that Tiwa Savage is the better singer, considering her achievements over the years.
