Nigerian music star Tems has defeated gospel heavyweights Kirk Franklin, CeCe Winans and Maverick City to win the Dr. Bobby Jones “Best Gospel/Inspirational Award” at the 2024 BET Awards.
The event was held on Sunday at the Peacock Theatre in Downtown Los Angeles.
Traditionally dominated by gospel singers, the category saw a shift this year with Tems’ win.
Although the lyrics of her winning song, “Me & U,” do not entirely fit the conventional gospel mould, Tems has explained that the music reflects her relationship with God and the transformation she experienced in her journey.
According to Tems, the song was initially written in 2021 but was officially released on 5 October 2023.
The 29-year-old singer has had an impressive career, previously winning BET awards for Best International Act and Best Collaboration in 2022 for her work on Wizkid’s “Essence.”
She also won the Best Collaboration award in 2023 for her song “Wait for U,” which she co-wrote with Drake and Future and received the same prize at the BET Hip Hop Awards in 2022.
South African star Tyla also had a remarkable night. Despite facing strong competition in both categories, she took home awards for “Best New Artist” and “Best International Act.”
BET Awards, established in 2001 by Black Entertainment Television, honour the achievements of black entertainers and other minorities across music, film, sports, and philanthropy.
Other notable winners included Usher, who received a Lifetime Achievement Award and took home the award for Best Male R&B/Pop Artist, SZA for Best Female R&B/Pop Artist, Killer Mike for Album of the Year, and Victoria Monét for both the BET Her Award and Video of the Year for “On My Mama.”
The 2024 BET Awards brought stars together from the entertainment industry, media, and sports.
This year’s event, hosted by actress Taraji Henson for the third time, featured red-carpet appearances and memorable performances.
Despite the celebrations, it was a night of mixed fortunes for Nigerian artistes. Asake and Ayra Starr missed the ‘Best International Act’ category, which went to Tyla.
Ayra Starr also lost the ‘BET Her’ Award to Victoria Monét and Best New Artist to Tyla. Seyi Vibez, who received his first-ever BET nomination, lost the ‘Best New International Act’ award to South Africa’s Makhadzi.
Burna Boy also faced disappointment, losing the ‘Best Male R&B/Pop Artist’ award to Usher and the Best Hip-hop Artist award to Kendrick Lamar.
Davido also lost in the ‘Viewers Choice Awards’ category, where he was featured in Chris Brown’s song alongside Lojay.
