Tems has emerged as the most nominated African act at the 2026 BET Awards with three major nominations, once again proving her growing global dominance.
The Grammy-winning star secured nods for Best Female R&B/Pop Artist, BET Her for “First,” and Viewers’ Choice for “Raindance” alongside Dave.
Other Nigerian artists also made a strong showing on the nominations list. Wizkid and Asake earned recognition in the Best Group category following their successful collaborations and global run. Burna Boy also secured a nomination for Best Collaboration for “WGFT” with Gunna.
The nominations further highlight Nigeria’s continued influence on the international music scene, as Afrobeats and African music keep breaking barriers across major global award platforms.
