Fast rising star, Tems has won the heart of award-winning Nigerian singer, Ayomide Balogun, popularly known as Wizkid after their song “Essence” broke another milestone.
Released back in October 2020 as the 11th track on Wizkid’s fourth studio album ‘Made in Lagos’, the song, few days ago, went platinum in the United States of America.
This means that the song attained over 400,000 sales over the year and as such, earned a platinum for the feat.
The 34-year old Wizkid expressed his excitement as they received their certification plagues in Los Angeles on Monday.
In a now-viral video shared on Instagram by her manager, Muyiwa Awoniyi, Wizkid congratulated Tems and commended her. “I love you baby girl, you are special and you are a superstar. This is your time and moment and the world needs to hear this because it is special to me,” he said.
