Wizkid and Tems wins Best Collaboration at 2021 Soul Train Awards

Wizkid and Tems have won the ‘Best Collaboration category at the 2021 Soul Train Awards for their hit song ‘Essence’, which was held at Apollo Theater, New York, on Sunday.

Recall that Wizkid bagged five nominations, while teams bagged four nominations for the 2021 Soul Train Awards.

They were both nominated in the Song of The Year, Video of The Year, The Ashford and Simpson songwriter’s Award and Best Collaboration for the groundbreaking single, ‘Essence.’

Wizkid also got a nomination for Album of The Year, for Made in Lagos, his fourth studio album, while Tems got another nomination for Best New Artiste.

Essence, however, lost the ‘Song of the Year’ and ‘Video of the Year’ category to ‘Leave the Door Open’ by Silk Sonic.

In the same vein, ‘Made In Lagos’, the Grammy award-nominated album, was also bested by Jazmine Sullivan’s ‘Heaux Tales’ in the ‘Album of the Year category.

Wizkid and Tems were not present at the award presentation as they were on the other side of the Atlantic in the United Kingdom performing in front of a sold-out 02 Arena.
