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. In an interview with Doose Of Society, she said that before becoming a professional musician she often pushed people away because she felt she had to handle everything on her own.

Teni jokes about Wizkid and Burna Boys online clash

Afrobeats singer Teni Makanaki has reacted playfully to the ongoing online clash between Wizkid and Burna Boy, focusing on the pressure to beef up her security. She said that after Burna Boy’s alleged altercation with DJ Tunez, friends and loved ones began calling her, advising her to hire bouncers to protect herself. In a humorous video, Teni joked about the high cost of maintaining bodyguards, saying that bouncers have big appetites and could end up spending her money more than she does. Speaking in pidgin, she imagined what it would cost to hire several bouncers like those used by singer Kizz Daniel, saying she could be buying cows every week just to feed them. Teni added that with Afrobeats full of conflicts and Nollywood also facing its own tensions, she is unsure which industry is truly safe, joking that even […]

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 […]

2Baba: Burna Boy ahead of Wizkid, Davido locally and globally

Nigerian music legend 2Baba has hailed Burna Boy as the leading Afrobeats star of the moment, saying he currently operates on a different level from peers like Wizkid and Davido. Speaking on the ‘Mic On’ podcast, 2Baba said he enjoys music from all three but, if forced to choose, he sees Burna Boy as “on the top of the game right now.” He likened judging artists to comparing painters with different styles and stressed that such rankings are ultimately a matter of taste. He explained that his view is based on his understanding of the global music landscape rather than the artists’ personal wealth or private achievements, which he said he cannot measure. According to him, Burna Boy currently tops the chain not just in Nigeria but across Africa and even on the world stage. 2Baba added that there is […]

2Baba calls Wizkid and Fela comparisons ridiculous

Music icon Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, has dismissed the ongoing comparison between Wizkid and late Afrobeat legend Fela Anikulapo Kuti as ridiculous. In a teaser from an upcoming episode of the Mic On podcast, 2Baba said it is disrespectful to Fela’s legacy and unfair to Wizkid to place both men side by side. He noted that each artiste should be judged within the context of his own era, style and impact. The debate intensified after Wizkid responded to criticism from Seun Kuti, Fela’s son, by claiming he is “bigger” than the Afrobeat pioneer. 2Baba stressed that Fela and Wizkid have made unique contributions to Nigerian music that cannot be measured on the same scale. He argued that constant comparisons ignore the different environments in which they created their work and add nothing useful to the conversation. He urged […]

GRAMMY 2026: I once thought Davido didn’t like me – Omah Lay

Afrobeats star Omah Lay has revealed that he once believed Davido did not like him, a misconception later cleared up before they created their Grammy‑nominated song “With You.” Speaking on the GRAMMY 2026 red carpet with OkayAfrica, Omah Lay said his perception changed after he watched a clip of Davido reacting warmly to his music at a time when he was going through a difficult period personally. “I was in the house, really, and I was going through it when I saw it, and I lost my mind,” he recalled. He admitted he had previously assumed there was tension between them. “It was the fact that I didn’t know Davido was like that. I thought we had a beef. I thought he didn’t like me,” he said.
