Nigerian sensation, Temilade Openiyi who is better known as Tems has bagged a feature on the soundtrack for the sequel of the blockbuster movie, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
Tems‘ recent achievement was revealed when Marvel released the trailer for Wakanda Forever on Sunday, July 24 and it featured the multi-talented Nigerian singer doing a rendition of Bob Marley’s ‘No Woman No Cry‘.
Specifically, the teaser commenced with the Alte singer’s rendition of “No Woman, No Cry” before it seamlessly transitions to Kendrick Lamar’s resilient song, Alright (2015).

During an interview with Billboard, Tems was asked what song she would remix if given the opportunity.
To which she responded, “I would choose Bob Marley’s “Is This Love, or No Woman Don’t Cry” because those are one of my favorites,” the 27-year-old responded.
The recording songstress sang an extremely somber cover of Marley’s song in the two-minute teaser, containing the phrase “good friends we have, and good friends we’ve lost.”
