Afrobeats superstar Davido has congratulated his colleague, Tems, on emerging winner of the Best African Music Performance category at the 67th Grammy Awards on Sunday.

Tems secured the Grammy with her hit song 'Love Me Jeje,' marking her second win after previously earning a Grammy for her contribution to Future's chart-topping single Wait For U.

The Best African Music Performance category had the likes of Yemi Alade's Tomorrow, Asake's MMS, Chris Brown's Sensational (featuring Davido & Lojay), and Burna Boy's Higher competing for the award.

In a post on Instagram Story in the hours of Monday, Davido celebrated Tems' victory with the word 'Congrats Queen!"

Tems made a tribute to her mum while receiving the award.

Taking the stage, an emotional Tems said, "Wow, dear God. Thank you so much for putting me on this stage and bringing me this team.
