Burna Boy, Rema, and Tems performed at the 2023 NBA All-Star Game halftime show lastnight. Burna Boy kicked things off onstage with a vibrant performance of some of his hit songs—”It’s Plenty,” “Last Last,” and “Alone”—before Rema took over to sing “Calm Down” and “Holiday.”
Tems finished the segment by performing a medley of “Crazy Tings,” “Free Mind,” “Essence,” and “Higher” while accompanied by backup dancers. She recently won Best Melodic Rap Performance at the 2023 Grammys, her first, for her, Future and Drake collaboration “Wait for U.” Tems has also been nominated for an Oscar for Best Original Song in 2023 for her work on Rihanna’s “Lift Me Up,” which appears on the soundtrack to Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
In January 2022, Rema appeared on FKA twigs’ Caprisongs track “Jealousy,” and in April, he released his debut album Rave & Roses.
