Nigerian singer Tems, also known as Temilade Openiyi, received the Dr. Bobby Jones Best Gospel/Inspirational Award at the 2024 BET Awards last night.
She won for her song “Me & U,” surpassing nominees like Shirley Caesar (“Award All of the Glory”), Kirk Franklin (“All Things”), Halle Bailey (“Angel”), CeCe Winans (“Come Jesus Come”), Erica Campbell (“Do You Believe in Love?”), Maverick City Music, Naomi Raine & Chandler Moore (“God Problems”), and Kirk Franklin (“Try Love”).
The award, recognizing urban contemporary gospel artists, considers sales and the quality of content released during the eligible period.
The award was originally titled Best Gospel Artist but was later renamed to its current title in 2017.
Kirk Franklin currently holds the record for this category, with six wins.
