Rema’s Calm Down featuring Selena Gomez has been on fire since its release, breaking records and achieving milestones. Latest on the list of the song’s incredible feats, the song has reached one billion Spotify streams making Rema the first African Artist to have a song reach one billion streams.
Since the release of his song Dumebi which launched his career the singer has been on a roll giving us back to back hits. In 2021, he announced he would be calling his sub genre of Afrobeat, “Afrorave” .
He also won the hearts of many with his speech at the 16th Headies award ceremony, in his words;
“I must say it is very important that I should let everyone know that I’m not here because of the awards. I’m here because it is important to support our institutions. And when I said institutions, I mean the bodies that support you to be able to achieve these major successes; the media houses, award organisers, you know. We are in a very sensitive period if we don’t give our attention to our institutions, we will miss this chance that we have. And we will never have this chance again. Be it Afrorave, Afro this, Afro that, last last, we go jam for Afrobeats award. So, this is our chance. We are not the first to do it. Reggae has done it before.”
