Just days after the release of Drake‘s ‘One
Dance’ official single featuring Wizkid which made it
to number 2 on iTunes USA and number 1 in several countries, Essence announces Wizkid as part of the
annual Essence festival line up billed to hold in New Orleans
Louisiana between June 30 and July 3.

He will be performing alongside Mariah
Carey, Maxwell, Kendrick
Lamar and many others.
This gives the starboy’s music a strong platform and huge
opportunity to get some R&B/Hip-Hop fans to get familiar and hopefully love
his sound making him crossover stronger to the U.S and International global
market.
The pop star became the first Nigerian artist to emerge on
Billboard’s Twitter Last 24 hours chart courtesy of his feature in
Drake's'One dance' song.

On 'One Dance,' the 6 God gets
assists from Wizkid, whom he worked with last year by featuring in a remix to
the singer’s ‘Ojuelegba’ mega tune, and Kyla, sampling the Crazy Cousinz
remix of her song, 'Do You Mind'. This raises the bar a lot higher for the
star pop singer helping to improve his brand visibility. The tune 'One
dance' features production by Ninteen85 with co-production
credits by 40.
The Nigerian pop singer is having a busy year so far going on
international tours as well as local ones while also hatching likely major
collaborations with international as well as local music acts.
