This comes days after Tems got songwriting credit on Beyonce’s upcoming album, Renaissance.

The trailer features Lupita Nyong’o, Angela Bassett, Letitia Wright, Danai Gurira, Winston Duke, and many other stars.

The 2minutes, 11seconds long trailer paid a tribute to the late lead cast, Chadwick Boseman, who featured as King T’Challa before his death in 2020.

Directed by Ryan Coogler, the sequel Black Panther: Wakanda Forever will premiere in November 2022.

Following the release, industry heavyweights and fans have taken to social media to comment about Tem’s feature on the trailer.

Jesus man. Tems trajectory is pretty insane. She's penetrated global pop culture on a totally new level.

Tems has secured a Marvel soundtrack appearance, a ft on a Beyoncé’s album, a hot 100 number one, and hasn’t even released her first album. That’s a star right there!
