Wizkid’s ‘Essence’ deserves a Grammy, says Onanuga

Presidential adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, has hailed the global impact of Wizkid and Tems’ hit single “Essence”, saying the song deserves a Grammy Award. Reacting on X after their performance at Coachella 2026, Onanuga praised the track and questioned why it failed to clinch a Grammy despite its worldwide success. He was responding to viral clips of Wizkid and Tems joining Canadian pop star Justin Bieber on stage to perform the remix of “Essence” at the California festival. “Still wondering why Essence did not win a Grammy. Great song, great rhythm!” Onanuga wrote in his post. Released in 2020, “Essence” marked a major breakthrough for Afrobeats and Nigerian music on the global stage. The remix featuring Bieber reached the top 10 of the US Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number nine.

Tems shares how music transformed her life

Grammy winning singer Tems has opened up on how her music career has transformed her life, helping her let go of hyper independence and embrace vulnerability.

From Ojuelegba streets to world stages: Wizkid’s rise to global stardom

Wizkid’s journey from the streets of Ojuelegba in Surulere, Lagos, to global music superstardom is a story of raw talent, persistence and perfect timing. Born Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun in 1990, he started singing in church and recording in small Lagos studios as a teenager, dreaming of breaking out of his modest background. His big break came after he signed with EME Records and released Holla At Your Boy in 2010, a hit that made him a youth favourite and earned him the Next Rated award at the Headies.​ Over the next few years, he built a strong fan base with back to back singles and tours across Nigeria and the diaspora, setting himself up for a defining moment in his career. That moment was Ojuelegba, the reflective anthem inspired by his hustle in Surulere, which connected deeply with Nigerians at […]
