Rising Nigerian singer Rema, also known as Divine Ikubor, has stirred up conversation in the music industry with his latest single “Hehehe.” In the song, Rema boldly positions himself alongside established Afrobeats stars Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy.
The ‘Calm Down’ hitmaker addresses the ongoing debate about his status in the industry, declaring in his lyrics:
“NO MORE BIG 3, THERE’S NOW A BIG 4. PEOPLE GO PARA BUT WHAT FOR? DEM GO SAY I DON’T DESERVE IT BUT THAT IS AN INSULT.”
This statement comes after Rema faced criticism for a recent tweet where he mentioned a “Big 4” in Afrobeats. In response to the backlash, Rema has doubled down on his claim, asserting that it’s disrespectful to downplay his relevance in the industry.
