The widely recognised vibe anthem “Essence” was released in 2020 as one of the tracks on Wizkid’s “Made in Lagos” album.

Asides subsequently charting the Billboard top 100 successfully since July, Essence has also gone platinum in the United States.

Wizkid proceeded to urge fans to expect more ongoing collaborations with Justin Bieber.

“We got some more music together as well,” he added.

Hit song “Love Nwantiti” by Nigerian singer Ckay has now ranked number 31 on the Billboard Hot 100.

This is besides being the number one song on Shazam’s global charts and topping other reputable music charts worldwide.

Love Nwantiti was on No 35 on the Billboard Hot 100 a week earlier.
