Nigerian music superstars Tems and Rema have featured on the summer playlist of Barack Obama, former President of the United States.
Now known as his annual tradition, the 44th POTUS shared the summer playlist on his Twitter page on Tuesday.
He wrote: “With summer winding down, I wanted to share some songs that I’ve been listening to lately – and it wouldn’t be my playlist if it didn’t include an eclectic mix.
“I hope you find something new to listen to!”
Tems features again on the playlist with “Love Me Jeje” from her album “Born In The Wild”, after previously being featured with “Me & U”.
