Justin Bieber on Essence

Bieber tagged Essence song of the summer and when he jumped on the remix, went the extra length to thank Wizkid for letting him in on it.

In an interview with the American entertainment media platform, Complex, Wizkid revealed that Bieber reached out to him for the remix and he sent in a fire verse.

"He reached out to me and he loved the record. He sent the verse and it was just fire."

Bieber went ahead from just sending in a verse to actually recording a short video of his part for the song.

The superstars performed the song together for the first time at Jay-Z's concert in America, a feat that saw the crowd go wild with excitement.
