Nigerian singing sensation Tems has made history, solidifying her position as the most certified Nigerian female artist in the United States. Her captivating single, “Found,” featuring Brent Faiyaz, has surpassed one million sales in the US, earning a prestigious RIAA platinum plaque.
This remarkable achievement adds to Tems’ impressive list of credentials. She now boasts three RIAA platinum certifications, including “Wait For U” and “Free Mind.” Additionally, her EP “For Broken Ears” and hit single “Higher” have received RIAA gold certifications, making her the first Nigerian female artist to achieve this feat.
Tems’ success is a testament to her talent and dedication. Her breakthrough appearance on Wizkid’s global smash hit “Essence” catapulted her to international mainstream attention. “Found” has garnered over 119 million Spotify streams, cementing its place as one of her most streamed songs.
With this milestone, Tems joins an elite group of Nigerian artists with RIAA-certified projects, alongside Rema and Wizkid. Wizkid’s fourth album, “Made In Lagos,” and Rema’s debut album, “Raves & Roses,” have both earned RIAA gold certifications.
