NIGERIAN singer Temilade Openiyi, also known as Tems, has been nominated for Best Original Score for the ‘Lift Me Up’ song which she co-wrote with Rihanna for the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack.
Tems was nominated for the award alongside Rihanna, Ludwig Göransson, and Ryan Coogler, who were all significant contributors to the song.
The song which was released on November 4, paid tribute to Chadwick Boseman, who played a lead role in the franchise before he died in 2020 after a battle with colon cancer.
The multiple award-winning singer has been nominated for at least 12 awards this year alone and has won half of them. Reacting to news of her nomination, Tems tweeted: “My God!! this one is too much.”
