Rema Claims Equal Status with Burna Boy, Wizkid, Davido
In a bold assertion, Nigerian artist Divine Ikubor, known as Rema, declared himself on par with Afrobeats giants Burna Boy, Wizkid, and Davido. This statement came amidst controversy sparked by his recent tweet and new song release.
Rema faced backlash for proclaiming a shift from the traditional Big 3 to a Big 4 in Afrobeats, asserting his inclusion in this elite group. Burna Boy, Wizkid, and Davido are widely regarded as the foremost figures in Nigerian music.
Despite criticism, Rema remains steadfast in his claim, emphasizing his contributions to the genre with lyrics like 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 assertion sets the stage for a new narrative in Nigerian music, challenging perceptions and stirring debate about Rema’s place among the industry’s top talents.
