Many music fans and fans of Nigerian singer Slimcase are interested in the new music video he made for Wizkid’s worldwide hit song “Essence.” Like Wizkid in the “Essence” video, the singer shared a video on Instagram in which he imitated his performance. The singer is known for having a contagious energy and a funny style. Since then, Slimcase’s funny but sincere tribute to Wizkid has gone viral, leading people to talk about how much he admires him and how popular “Essence” is.
Slimcase can be seen copying a few key parts from Wizkid’s original “Essence” video, which had Tems in it. He made fun of the mood, the clothes, and even the small movements that made Wizkid’s show so memorable. The honour wasn’t just a joke; it was also a real way for Slimcase to show how much he admires and respects Wizkid. Slimcase praised “Essence” as one of Wizkid’s most famous songs in the comment, pointing out how well-known it is around the world and how important it was in making Wizkid a global star.
Wizkid’s 2020 album *Made in Lagos* included the song “Essence,” which quickly became a cultural hit, known all over the world, not just in Nigeria. The smooth mix of Afrobeat rhythms and R&B vibes in the song made it popular all over the world. In 2021, a remix of the song starring Canadian pop star Justin Bieber made it even more popular. The song was the first Nigerian song to make it to the Billboard Hot 100. It also got Wizkid nominated for a Grammy, confirming his position as one of the biggest music stars to come out of Africa.
Slimcase’s choice to make a new video for the song shows how much of an effect “Essence” has had on artists in Nigeria’s music industry. Slimcase has built his career on street-pop music, so his action shows how important Wizkid’s work has been, affecting many different types of music and inspiring artists from all over the world. His fun take on the song shows how culturally relevant Wizkid is, both as an artist and as a sign of how Nigerian music is becoming more popular around the world.
The post got a lot of likes and comments right away from fans who liked Slimcase’s creativity and sense of humour. A lot of Wizkid fans agreed with Slimcase that “Essence” is one of the best Afrobeats songs ever. The tribute also made people miss when the song first came out, and many fans talked about how “Essence” ruled the airwaves and playlists when it was at its most famous.
Wizkid is known for being easygoing and not making many public appearances. He has not yet reacted to Slimcase’s tribute. But Slimcase’s video joins the growing number of famous people and fans who have praised Wizkid’s music and acknowledged how he helped make Afrobeats popular around the world.
Slimcase’s love for Wizkid is not a surprise at all. Wizkid has built a name over the years as an artist who inspires both new and established musicians in Nigeria and around the world. Many artists who want to break into the international music scene look up to his ability to mix sounds from around the world.
Slimcase is still getting a lot of attention from his popular video, and fans are wondering if this playful tribute could lead to the two artists working together in the future. For now, Slimcase’s remake is a fun way to remember how important “Essence” is to culture and how much Wizkid is admired by his peers.
