Divine Ikubor, also known as Rema, a Nigerian heavyweight singer and performer, opened up about competing with Afrobeats artists Burna Boy, Wizkid, and Davido.
In an interview with UK media site GRM Daily for the newest episode of “Thoughts In A Culli,” the Mavin/Jonzing singer, whose sophomore album ‘HEIS’ is still making waves, discussed his work, personal life, and the Afrobeats genre.
When asked how he competes with Afrobeats heavyweights by show host Post (who is also the CEO of GRM Daily), who regarded Rema as part of the new Afrobeats “Big Four,” the 24-year-old superstar stated that he considers himself to be very respectful and does not see the need to flex on his colleagues.
Rema elaborated on his viewpoint, stating that he does not let fans who place artists against one another to get into his thoughts, instead focusing on himself.
According to the singer, his reasoning for the battle revolves on the fact that he didn’t know Burna Boy, Wizkid, or Davido five years ago, therefore he shouldn’t be so invested in competing with them or needing to “dunk on them” now that they are colleagues.
He went on to say that, while songs may suggest that one musician is better than the others, he (Rema) sees it as merely sports, and that outside of music, there should be love for one another.
