In October 2021, ‘Essence’, which is off Wizkid's ‘Made In Lagos’ album, was certified Platinum in the US, making it the first African song to hit that milestone.

The presentation followed Wizkid’s show at The Novo in Los Angeles as part of his Made in Lagos tour. 

While accepting the plaque, Wizkid said: “We have a platinum record and I just want to say thank you to everyone involved in this, from Tems to the producers Legendury Beatz.

"These are my brothers from way back.

"Thanks to the whole team for believing in the dreams from early [on].

"To my fans, I appreciate you all and I pray God blesses all of you.”
