In a moment of candid reflection with her followers, the Grammy-award-winning sensation Tems peeled back the layers of one of modern Afrobeats’ most celebrated partnerships.
During a lively question-and-answer session on the social media platform X, the elusive singer, known for her soul-baring vocals and introspective nature, opened up about what she values most in her frequent collaborator, the global superstar Wizkid.
The prompt came from a curious fan, @Gbolaha_n9, who simply asked, “One thing you love about BigWiz?” Cutting straight to the heart of the matter, Tems’s response was as profound as it was concise. She didn’t cite his fame or his musical genius but pointed to the character of the man behind the icon.

She wrote; “His Heart, his work ethic”.
For Tems, an artist who built her career from the ground up with a fiercely independent spirit and a deep approach to her craft, Wizkid’s kind heart suggests a mutual respect and a supportive creative environment.
The pair forged one of Afrobeats’ most iconic anthems with “Essence,” released in 2020. The track was a slow-burning sensation that crescendoed into a global summer soundtrack, breaking international charts and earning prestigious award nominations. Its success catapulted Tems into the global spotlight, a journey they have since shared, performing the hit on some of the world’s most prestigious stages together.
