Nigerian music star Tems grabs two awards at BET Awards last night – “Best International Act,” as well as “Best Collaboration” for Essence by Wizkid featuring herself and Justin Bieber.

Hip Hop and RnB maestro cum entrepreneur Diddy also received the “Lifetime Achievement Award” for his contribution to the industry.

This is the first international award Tems is receiving for her own record.

In receiving the award, Tems gave a brief speech dedicating her award to every young woman striving to one day live their dreams.

“Thank you so much for this, thank you so much. It’s an honour… I mean, this is my first award show that I’m winning something and I just want to use this as an opportunity to speak to every single young, old, whatever, every single woman watching this, every single girl watching this at home. Where I’m from, things like this don’t happen.”
