This record has generated a lot of conversations and hype from the Wizkid fanbase also known as Wizkid FC.
A few reactions:
Essence blew up organically.
Ginger, No Stress & Smile was pushed more than Essence was.
The only PR Wizkid did for Essence was tweeting “Tems & I created magic” that’s all.

The unforgivable sin @jada3_p and @wizkidayo and the whole starboy crew will commit, is not submitting made in Lagos and Essence for Grammy consideration. Wizkid fc global will not forgive you guys????

Looks like Wizkid got song of the summer 8-9 months after the track dropped. Replay value? New fans? Either way, keep blasting that joint. Perfect for the summer
