In an exclusive conversation, Nigerian singer and songwriter Wizkid, also known as Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun, shared that he crafted his hit songs ‘Gyrate,’ ‘Essence,’ ‘Soco,’ and ‘Nowo’ all in one night. Discussing his approach to music creation, he revealed that on many nights, he wakes up and produces two or three hit songs as guided by his creative spirit.
When asked about his awareness of ‘Essence’ becoming a hit, Wizkid confidently affirmed that he knew the song would have a substantial impact, responding with a resounding “Hell yeah.”
He further mentioned forgetting about the creation of the song until his tweet stating that he and Tems “made magic” garnered attention. Despite his success, Wizkid emphasized his ten-year journey in the art of music.
