Rema compares self to Burna Boy, Wizkid, Davido

Afrobeats sensation Divine Ikubor, popularly known as Rema, has insinuated that he is on the same level as Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy.

Burna Boy, Wizkid, and Davido are widely regarded as the biggest Nigerian/Afrobeats artists in the world and are jointly referred to as the “Big 3.”

Rema is now laying claims to the elite list. In a recent X post, the ‘Calm Down’ crooner asserted that he is now in that league when he wrote: “No more Big 3 there’s now a Big 4.”

His post elicited mixed reactions, with many concurring with him while others insisted that despite his stream and chart successes, he needs years of consistency to earn it.

Rema’s latest EP, Ravage, is a testament to his success, as it debuted on the charts in over 50 countries a few hours after its release on Friday, October 26, 2023.

This is coming after the singer made history as the first African artist to win a Chinese Music Award.

The singer achieved the feat after his song ‘Calm Down’ remix with American superstar Selena Gomez won the Best Collaboration of the Year at the 2024 Hito Music Award in the Republic of China.

Rema joined D’Prince’s Jonzing World, a subsidiary of Mavin Records, in 2019.
He has been enjoying a massive reception from music lovers since he came into the limelight.

The singer released his eponymous debut EP ‘Rema’ in 2019.

His hit single ‘Calm Down’ has continued to amass massive numbers on streaming services, break records, and earn awards.

In December 2023, Rema was listed as one of the singers who dominated the year’s charts of most exported artistes in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) on Spotify.

He also made history at the 2023 Billboard Music Awards (BMAs) alongside Burna Boy, the Afro-fusion star; the duo became the first winners of the newly created Afrobeats Awards.
