Tems, the Grammy-winning singer, has expressed her interest in the acting industry.
In an interview with BBC Capital Xtra London, she mentioned her proficiency in acting and her desire to explore this new creative avenue.
Tems also revealed that she already has an idea of the type of character she’d like to portray.
In her words,
“I’m ready to act in movies. Not ready right now, but I’m already good at acting. The first character I would love to play is a single mum. It doesn’t need to be struggling. It could be like a fun single mum or a single mum that has mysteries. A gangster.”
Tems, the accomplished artist, achieved an Oscar nomination for her songwriting abilities.
She co-wrote Rihanna’s “Lift Me Up,” a hit song featured on the soundtrack of “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” (2022).
This remarkable feat makes her the first Nigerian artist to receive an Oscar nomination.
She collaborated with the film’s director, Ryan Coogler, and composer Ludwig Göransson, contributing to the emotional track.
Tems’ illustrious career includes being the first Nigerian female artist to win a Grammy award for her work on Future’s “Wait For U,” debuting at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 and receiving three BET awards.
