After being teased and pushed back after the death of Chadwick Boseman, the recent trailer released for “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” has revealed that Tems would be covering for Bob Marley’s “No Woman, No Cry” on the trailer’s soundtrack.
Yesterday, Marvel Studios had debuted the trailer which had been created for the blockbuster sequel, which is also scheduled for a November 11 release at San Diego Comic-Con on Saturday.
The teaser begins with Tems’ rendition of “No Woman, No Cry” before it seamlessly transitions to Kendrick Lamar’s resilient song, Alright (2015).

During an interview with Billboard, Tems had been 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 favourites,” the 27-year-old responded.
Tems performs an extremely sombre cover of Marley’s song in the two-minute teaser, containing the phrase “good friends we have, and good friends we’ve lost.”
The poignant trailer hints at how the MCU franchise’s heroes will handle the loss of T’Challa, formerly portrayed by Chadwick Boseman, who passed away at age 43 in 2020 following a four-year fight with cancer.
In another report, Tems was declared the winner of the Best International Act at the BET Awards 2022.
Africa Today News, New York reports that the 2022 award ceremony was held at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. The BET Awards celebrate Black excellence in music, culture, and sports.
The talented singer beat Fireboy, Dave from the UK, Dinos from France, Fally Ipupa from Congo, Little Simz from the UK, Ludmilla from Brazil, Major League Djz from South Africa, and Tayc from France.
Receiving the award, Tems urged women and girls to continue on their chosen path, adding that the hard work will soon pay off.
