Wizkid, born Ayodeji Balogun, has achieved significant milestones with his hit song “Essence,” featuring Tems. The audio version of the track has amassed 100 million streams on YouTube, while the music video is nearing 200 million views. Since its release, “Essence” has been hailed as a summer anthem and continues to receive accolades more than a year later.
Despite its widespread acclaim, “Essence” notably did not receive a nomination for Record of the Year in the 2022 Grammy nominations, a decision that sparked discussions among fans and industry observers about the recognition of Afrobeats on global platforms. The song’s impact, however, remains undeniable, solidifying Wizkid’s status as a leading figure in the music industry.
