Kanye West just declared in an Instagram post that Wizkid’s Essence featuring Tems is the best song in the history of music.
Essence has been a global sensation since its release in October 2020 and has taken both Wizkid’s and Tem’s careers to new heights since.
The song has been certified 2x platinum in the US, platinum in Canada, and gold in the UK and New Zealand. It was also grammy nominated and bagged several international awards.
Many consider it a cultural reset and if it is anything, it is definitely a global sensation. But is it truly the best song in the history of music?
