Renowned Nigerian singer, Divine Ikubor, also known as Rema has confidently stated that he has already achieved enough to secure a place in the Afrobeats Hall of Fame.
At 23 years old, he has no intentions of quitting music in the near future. Rema believes that even if he were to stop his music career today, his name would still be prominently featured in the "Afrobeats bible." In his words, if there were such a book, he would be on the front page of the "New Testament
Rema was on the cover of the fourth edition of The New Wave issue of i-D Magazine.
“I’m not saying I want to stop. But if I say I want to stop right now, my name is still going to be on the Afrobeats bible, if there is an Afrobeats bible to be dropped. I’ll literally be in the New Testament, on the front page,” he said.
The ‘Calm Down’ crooner also recounted how he was mocked because of his Bollywood-soundtrack-themed sound when he hit stardom in 2019.
He said, “Everything they doubted, everything they laughed at me for, I built on it. They called me Indian Boy; I went to India. I’m the first artist to shut down four cities in India, 5000 capacity and above. No one can deny that I’ve impacted Afrobeats on a global scale.”
