Grammy Award-winning Nigerian Afrobeats Artist — Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems — stars on one of 5 ELLE UK October edition covers, wearing luxe pieces from Tiffany & Co. and Vivienne Westwood in celebration of the return of the ELLE Style Awards as she wins ‘The Trailblazer” award.
This multi-award-winning talent has become the face of the global Afrobeats movement and the voice of a generation of women in music.
With the upcoming release of her highly anticipated new album, she sits with Writer and Editor Charlie Brinkhurst-Cuff to discuss casting off past versions of herself, why she’s ready for Beyonce‘s call and stepping into her power era – in the latest issue of ELLE, out next week!
