Grammy-winning Nigerian vocalist Temilade Openiyi, famously known as Tems, brought her partner, Ayra Starr, in front of an audience for an unexpected presentation.
During Tem’s ongoing tour, the two superstars performed together in New York.
Ayra Starr is also the first female artist from Nigeria to be nominated for Best African Song Performance at the 66th Grammy Awards for her hit single “Rush.”
With the release of new projects in 2024, both celebrities have continued their global rise. Tems released her much-anticipated debut album, “Born In The Wild,” while Ayra Starr released her highly acclaimed sophomore album, “The Year I Turned 21,” which featured appearances by Giveon, Coco Jones, Aniita, Seyi Vibez, and Asake.
Tems Starr and Ayra Starr are not related, as you can see above. What exactly is the connection between them? Nigerians have asked this question numerous times. The main connection among Tems and Ayra Starr is that they are the two Nigerians, artists and have a similar example of music.
Tems, who is currently touring the United States, also brought American singers like J Cole and John Legend on stage.
However, the moment when she invited her Nigerian coworker Ayra Starr onto the stage to perform one of her songs was the highlight of her performance in New York.
The pair performed together in a moment that demonstrated their friendship and mutual support for one another, and the audience applauded them as they did so in a video that became a social media trend.
Tems and Ayra Starr are two of Nigeria’s best-known exports to the world. Their music has received numerous awards and a million fans.
Even though Tems and Ayra Starr haven’t worked together yet, many fans, including Rihanna, are looking forward to the song. The 9X Grammy winner has said that she’s ready to join the Nigerian stars on the track.
Tems and Ayra Starr are two of Nigeria’s best worldwide commodities whose music has won them a great many fans and remarkable honors.
When Tems won the Best Melodic Rap Performance award at the 65th Grammy Awards for her contributions to Future’s “Wait For U,” she became the first Nigerian female artist to do so.
