Tems, Asake, Rema, and Wizkid Get Nominated at the 2025 American Music Awards

Nigerian music is making waves around the world again. Four top Nigerian artists Tems, Asake, Rema, and Wizkid have been nominated for the 2025 American Music Awards (AMAs) in the “Favourite Afrobeats Artist” category.

This is big news not just for the artists but for Nigeria as a whole. It shows that Afrobeats is now loved by fans across the world, and Nigerian music is getting the recognition it truly deserves.

Tems has been doing great internationally. Her smooth and powerful voice has earned her big collaborations with stars like Beyoncé, Drake, and Future. She’s also won a Grammy and continues to grow her fan base globally.

Asake, also known as Mr. Money, is famous for his energetic songs and unique sound. His mix of Fuji and Afrobeats has made him one of the most talked-about artists in Nigeria and beyond.

Rema, the young star behind the global hit “Calm Down,” is also nominated. His remix of the song with American singer Selena Gomez was a massive success and helped him gain fans all over the world. Rema’s sound is a mix of Afrobeats, pop, and trap – and people love it.

Wizkid, who has been in the game the longest among the four, is also in the race. He is one of the biggest names in Afrobeats and has helped spread the sound worldwide. His song “Essence” with Tems was a huge hit in America and beyond, making him a pioneer of global Afrobeats.

The American Music Awards adding a category for Afrobeats shows just how far the genre has come. It also proves that Nigerian artists are not just popular at home, but are also respected on the world stage.

Fans can support their favorite artists by voting online or on social media. Even though only one person can win, all four artists have already made Nigeria proud with this nomination.

This is a great moment for Nigerian music. It celebrates talent, hard work, and how far we’ve come in sharing our culture with the world. Afrobeats is here to stay, and the world is watching.
