Nigerian international singer, Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has made her first solo entry on Billboard Hot 100 chart with her song, ‘Free Mind ‘ which was released in 2020.
Free Mind made it to the chart on Monday, a day after Tems featured on the soundtrack of the trailer for Marvel’s Black Panther sequel, ‘Wakanda Forever.’
With the debut of ‘Free Mind’, Tems became the second Nigerian artist to have four entries on the revered Billboard Hot 100.
She got her previous entries from guest appearances in Drake’s ‘Fountain’, Wizkid’s ‘Essence’, and Future’s number one single, ‘Wait For U’.
Tems is now tied with Wizkid who was the sole record holder with Drake’s global hit ‘One Dance’, Beyonce’s ‘Black Skin Girl’, Chris Brown’s ‘Call Me Everyday’, and his hit single ‘Essence’.
