Among the many Instagram posts Kanye West has shared over the weekend, he stated that he thinks Wizkid's "Essence" track featuring Tems is the "best song" in history so far.
Following various posts calling out GAP for excluding him from meetings, Ye shared a few Instagram posts about other people's music. He said "CHURCH GIRL" is his favourite track from Beyoncé's Renaissance album, and also stated that DJ Khalid's "GOD DID" is his favourite track of 2022 alongside Future's "Wait 4 U".
On what song he thinks is the best of all time, Ye shared a screenshot of Wizkid's Tems collaboration "Essence", and wrote, "Best song in the history of music to date."
