The pair were nominated for the category alongside Amaarae, Diamond Platnumz, and Focalistic.
Reacting to her nomination, Tems said: “I’m extremely excited to be nominated for the Best African Act at the MTV EMAs. The last few years have been crazy and I am just grateful to God for all the blessings so far.”
