FUTURE PRAISES TEMS FOLLOWING CHART-TOPPING 'WAIT FOR
According to the Atlanta rapper, a big part of what makes "WAIT FOR U" such a special song is Tems' sultry voice. On Thursday (May 12), Future hopped on Twitter to show his appreciation for the Nigerian songstress' harmonic addition to the track.
"Soon as I heard the @temsbaby sample over @atljacobbeatz Instantly connected to my soul," he tweeted. "@temsbaby VOICE IS AMAZING."
He added, "Even tho wait for u is a sample and not an original recording I still put Featuring @temsbaby if u wasn't familiar with her work. Thank u Tems."
Tems' vocals originally appeared on "Higher" from her 2020 debut EP For Broken Ears. Even though she's sampled on the song, the 26-year-old earned her first No. 1 single on the Billboard Hot 100 thanks to Future listing her as a feature on "WAIT FOR U." It's just her third Hot 100 hit following Wizkid's "Essence" (No. 15) and Drake's "Fountains" (No. 26).
