Renowned American rapper Nicki Minaj has recently spoken up about why she believes Wizkid deserves a Grammy award.

In a recent interview, Nicki stated that she thinks “Essence” should have been nominated for Best Global Performance at the Grammys. She highlighted its exceptional quality and how it captured the hearts of listeners around the world.
The song became a massive hit, topping Billboard’s international charts in 2021, and Nicki believes its success speaks volumes.
Nicki expressed frustration with the awards system, saying, “We should have our own Grammy board because Wizkid’s ‘Essence’ deserved to win Best Global Music Performance.” She believes Afrobeats artists like Wizkid deserve more recognition.
