The crowd clapped and cheered as the duo performed one of Legend’s popular songs, “Ordinary People,” together, which seemed like the night’s peak.
TheTalk.NG also reported that celebrations trailed a video of Tems and Oyinkansola Aderibigbe, better known as Ayra Starr, performing together at a show in New York.
Over the years, female artists in the Nigerian music industry have been accused of not collaborating enough like their male counterparts.
However, recent clips showing the exploits achieved by Tems and Ayra Starr beyond the country’s shores have started to help change the decade-old narratives about Nigerian female singers.
One of the people who joined Tems was her Nigerian colleague Ayra Starr, and they performed the latter’s song, “Rush.” A highlight of their performance was when both artists tried to outdo each other in a waist-whining dance-off.
