From her side, loves lives and she can’t wait till they move like a Tsunami.
“I’m taking today to appreciate all the sisters today. Thank you for existing, thank you for deciding to get up and do something because someone saw that and became inspired by it.
When I see anyone of you gracing a stage, I feel like that’s me. We’re all winning and we’re about to move in like a Tsunami. So before it starts, know that Love lives on this side. As we show the world how it’s done.
And if I missed any messages it is definitely unintentional I don’t take your kind words and support for granted. Sending you all love today because you deserve it. Love always”.
The singer who keeps making Nigerians proud bagged two awards at the award event which was held on Sunday, June 26th.
Adding to her feathers, 27-year-old Tems also took home the award for Best Collaboration from Wizkid’s song “Essence” which features her and Justin Bieber.
