She said, āIām ready to act in movies. Not ready right now but Iām already good at acting.
āThe first character I would love to play is a single mum. It doesnāt need to be struggling. It could be like a fun single mum or a single mum that has mysteries. A gangster.ā
While we await her acting debut, it is important to note that Tems has earned an Oscar nomination for her songwriting skills. She co-wrote Rihanna’s hit song ‘Lift Me Up’, which was featured on the soundtrack of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022).
She is the first Nigerian artist to earn an Oscar nomination. On the process of writing the emotional track, the record-breaking singer told Power 105.1, “I was writing in general for ‘Black Panther’ ā¦ I got in Ryan [Coogler] and Ludwig [Gƶransson], we met up with them and they gave us the direction. They had some words on the song already ā¦ we all collaborated and brought it together.”
