Why Asake is a bigger than Rema” – Daniel Regha

Twitter user who has caused controversy Daniel Regha has sparked yet another social media firestorm by comparing two emerging Nigerian artists, Rema and Asake.

Regha did not hold back in voicing his opinion, claiming that Asake is more influential in the music industry than Rema.

Regha attributes Rema’s rising fame to the strong public relations methods implemented by Marvin’s Records, the record label founded by the influential Don Jazzy.

While recognising the importance of public relations, Regha asserted that Asake’s artistic ability outstrips Rema’s.

Regha conducted a critical examination of the two artists’ musical creations, claiming that Asake’s songs have deeper meanings than Rema’s, which he believes often rely on rehashed words.

Despite the differences, Regha emphasised that both artists are still in the early stages of their careers.

Regha ended his tweet with the phrase “no shades,” emphasising that he did not want to denigrate either artist.

Instead, he hoped to spark a constructive debate on the various styles and influences that have shaped Asake and Rema’s careers.

“Asake is a bigger artiste than Rema, but Rema gets better PR thanks to Don Jazzy’s influence & that of Mavin Records. Lyrically speaking Asake has more meaningful songs; Rema 99% of the time recycles lyrics. The only thing they have in common is that both are still upcomers, that’s all. No shades,” Regha wrote.
