Tems was pictured with Kim Kardashian, Alton Mason and Sabrina Elba at a SKIMS event in London on Friday, September 18.
The Nigerian singer was among guests at the event marking the opening of SKIMS’ first European flagship store on Regent Street, which coincided with London Fashion Week. The 12,000-square-foot store carries the brand’s full range and was designed by Rafael de Cárdenas, with artwork by Vanessa Beecroft.
Tems’ appearance follows her attendance at H&M’s London Fashion Week show on Thursday, where she wore an all-black look and joined other guests in the front row.
Kardashian, who co-founded SKIMS with Jens Grede in 2019, was in London for the flagship opening and wore several looks during the celebrations.
The London appearance adds another fashion event to Tems’ September schedule as she continues her appearances around London Fashion Week.
Tems attended H&M’s show during London Fashion Week on Thursday, September 17, joining the front row for the brand’s Autumn 2026 presentation at Olympia London.
The Nigerian singer arrived in an all-black look, wearing a knee-length black skirt with a thigh-high slit, a leather jacket and dark sunglasses. She completed the look with a head wrap.
H&M’s show, titled “H&M&YOU&I,” was created with British photographer Nick Knight and SHOWstudio, with Labrinth providing the soundtrack. The presentation featured H&M’s Autumn 2026 collections, including pieces from its H&M Studio and H&M Atelier lines.
Tems was among several notable guests at the show, alongside Myha’la, Laura Harrier, Cruz Beckham, Kim Petras, Audrey Nuna and Manu Ríos.
The appearance comes during the September edition of London Fashion Week, which runs alongside the city’s Spring/Summer 2027 fashion calendar.
Tems was among the star-studded lineup of artists who paid tribute to legendary singer and rapper Lauryn Hill at the 2026 BET Awards.
The Grammy-winning Nigerian singer joined SZA, Queen Latifah, Common, Doja Cat, Tierra Whack, Lizzo, Rapsody, Selah Marley and Nas for a medley celebrating Hill’s iconic catalog. Tems and Tierra Whack teamed up to perform the Fugees classic “Fu-Gee-La.”
Earlier in the night, Tems also performed her hit single “What You Need.” The performance was later ranked by Billboard as the sixth-best non-tribute performance of the evening.
Tems received three nominations at this year’s BET Awards but did not take home a trophy.
Rising Afrofusion artist VALOE, has released a new single titled “Sandalili.”
The track is a melodic Afro-fusion record influenced by the sonic styles of Tems, Fireboy DML, Rema, and Omah Lay.
“Sandalili” leans into a smooth, mid-tempo Afrobeats foundation with soft synth elements, rhythmic percussion, and a focus on melody-driven vocals.
The song is built around themes of nostalgia, emotional distance, and memory, drawing from a childhood nursery rhyme in Eastern Nigeria that inspired its core concept.
VALOE describes his sound as Afrofusion shaped by both West African and diaspora influences. Raised in Aba and now based in Atlanta, his music blends Afrobeats, R&B, and soul, with a focus on atmosphere and emotional delivery rather than heavy production or high-energy structure.
“Sandalili” also references Aba, Nigeria through its cover art coordinates, grounding the release in VALOE’s hometown while presenting it within a more modern Afrofusion context.
“Sandalili” by VALOE is out now on all streaming platforms.
Nigerian Afrobeats singer-songwriter Roemeinia returns with “Elixir”, sultry and emotionally charged single that explores the desire to fully allow emotional vulnerability.
Inspired by the sounds of Tems and Ayra Starr, “Elixir” features warm electric pianos and 90s R&B synths.
Speaking on the record produced by French producer, Xoxlike, Roemeinia describes Elixir as “a song about allowing yourself to be seen emotionally, choosing connection over defense, and letting vulnerability exist without fear or apology.”
“Elixir” by Roemeinia is out now on all platforms.
Kenyan singer-songwriter Lucinia Karrey has a new single “Bounty Hunter”, partnering a propulsive Afrofusion beat with an anthemic chorus, supercharged with her emotive flow.
Inspired by the tender vibe of Tems’ “Love Me Jeje”, this uplifting track is a heartfelt conversation with the divine—an intimate dialogue between the soul and its source of light.
