Singer Tiwa Savage has congratulated her junior colleague Tems on her Grammy nomination after receiving critiques from Twitter users who accused her of not supporting her female colleagues.
Reacting, the 41-year-old congratulated Tems in an Instagram post on Thursday. Tiwa also congratulated Benniese-American music icon Angelique Kidjo on her Grammy nomination.
“Big win but I’m especially. Excited for my Queens ooo. Tems Baby and Angelique Kidjo,” she wrote.
Tems was nominated for Best Global Music Performance for ‘Essence’, her collaboration with Wizkid.
Tiwa, however, did not congratulate her at the time which sparked reactions from Twitter users, accusing her of not supporting her female colleagues in the music industry.
Fans have been comparing the two stars following Tems’s global success. Many believe that she is now a bigger artiste than Tiwa after her collaboration with Wizkid which earned her global recognition and international collaboration with Canadian rapper Drake on his latest album Certified Lover Boy.
Tems is also the first Nigerian female singer to bag a Grammy nomination.
