Tems just scored—again.
On one of the world’s most-watched stages, Grammy-winning Nigerian singer-songwriter Tems delivered a soul-stirring performance during the first-ever FIFA Club World Cup Halftime Show, captivating the crowd with her chart-topping hit “Love Me Jeje.” The just-concluded match saw Chelsea defeat Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 to claim the 2025 Club World Cup title—but Tems’ halftime appearance was a historic moment of its own. Poised, polished, and powerful, the performance solidified her place as a global icon and a cultural force rewriting the rules in music, sport, and beyond.

Draped in a custom designer look and backed by a roaring crowd, the singer's vocals soared across the stadium—a reminder of why she's among the most resonant voices in global music today.
With pitch-perfect vocals, effortless stage presence, and glowing confidence, she turned the global football spotlight into a full-on celebration of Black excellence.
Her halftime performance follows a streak of some of global pop culture’s biggest moments: co-writing Rihanna’s Lift Me Up for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, contributing to Beyoncé’s Renaissance, and earning a Grammy for her work on Future’s Wait For U. Now, she’s owning the music and the moment.
But Tems isn’t just performing on the field—she’s now owning it.
Earlier this year, the Afrobeats powerhouse made headlines by joining San Diego FC’s ownership group as a club partner, cementing her growing footprint in sports business and global influence. This move makes her one of the few African women with direct equity in a major sports team.
