Grammy-winning Nigerian singer, Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has reached another groundbreaking milestone, this time, not in music, but in the world of sports.
The globally celebrated artist has officially joined Major League Soccer (MLS) side San Diego FC’s ownership group as a club partner.
However, this marks her as the first African woman to hold an ownership stake in an MLS club.
San Diego FC (SDFC) made the announcement.
They confirms that Tems joined the club’s ownership group through her company, The Leading Vibe.
The partnership represents a fusion of music, culture, and sports.
