Nigerian musician Tems wowed her audience with a remarkable performance at Coachella on Sunday night, April 14.
The highlight of her show was a star-studded rendition of her hit collaboration, ‘Essence’, featuring Afrobeat star Wizkid and Canadian sensation Justin Bieber.
Onstage, Wizkid joined Tems first for a captivating performance, followed by an electrifying appearance by Justin Bieber, who warmly embraced the ‘Star Boy’ during their live act.
The unexpected collaboration delighted fans of ‘Essence’, a song that gained massive popularity during the pandemic.
Moreover, Justin Bieber’s appearance at Coachella marked a significant moment for his fans, as the singer had maintained a low profile since revealing his battle with Ramsay Hunt syndrome in 2022.
Despite his health challenges, Bieber showed no signs of illness during the performance, leaving the audience thrilled and captivated by the trio’s seamless delivery of ‘Essence’.
Originally released in 2020, ‘Essence’ took its time to climb the charts, eventually making history on Billboard’s R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay and entering the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100.
This iconic performance at Coachella further solidified the song’s status as a groundbreaking Afrobeats hit.
