AFRIMMA’s official 2026 winners list names Tems as Best Female West Africa, adding another continental distinction to the Nigerian singer-songwriter’s international résumé.
Her win comes from a category that included several major Nigerian and West African female acts.
The official AFRIMMA results identify Tems as “Best Female West Africa.” GBC Ghana’s nominee coverage independently documented Tems in the category and described AFRIMMA as recognizing “outstanding artists” across the continent.
Echotitbits take: Tems’ award adds to the evidence that her crossover profile remains anchored in strong African-market recognition. Watch for whether the win feeds into year-end award narratives and touring demand.
