Nigerian singer Tems celebrated a significant win at the 2024 BET Awards held at Los Angeles's Peacock Theater. Her hit song "Me & U" secured the prestigious Dr. Bobby Jones Best Gospel/Inspirational Award, surpassing renowned figures like Kirk Franklin, Shirley Caesar, and Maverick City.

However, other Nigerian artists faced tough competition at this year's ceremony. Ayra Starr and Asake were nominated for Best International Act but were edged out by South Africa's Tyla. Starr also missed out on Best New Artist and BET Her awards, both of which were claimed by Tyla and Victoria Monét respectively.

In the category of Best New International Act, Seyi Vibez was surpassed by South Africa's Makhadzi. Burna Boy, another prominent Nigerian nominee, was also defeated, with Usher winning Best Male R&B/Pop Artist and Kendrick Lamar taking home Best Hip-Hop Artist.

The event saw a diverse array of winners across various categories, including Drake, who won Best Male Hip-Hop Artist, and Nicki Minaj, who triumphed as Best Female Hip-Hop Artist. Victoria Monét's album "Jaguar II" earned her Album of the Year, while Lil Durk's collaboration with J. Cole on "All My Life" secured Best Collaboration.

The Video of the Year award went to Victoria Monét for her song "On My Mama," and Cole Bennett received the Video Director of the Year accolade. The ceremony also honored standout performances in gospel and inspirational music, with Tems's "Me & U" recognized alongside other impactful works.

Despite the competitive field and varied outcomes, the 2024 BET Awards underscored the global influence and talent within the music industry, showcasing artists from diverse backgrounds and genres.
