Award-winning Nigerian entertainer, Divine Ikubor, better known as Rema, has stated that he can’t stay off the grid for a year and not drop a new song because he has become so prominent in the music business.
In an interview Rema recently had, he stated that he has become a force to reckon with in the music game because of his unique sound.
Rema who recently met US singer, Madonna claims that Africa will perceive a problem if he decides not to drop a single in a given year.
Rema boasted that the gap left by his leaving will be caused by the strong impression his music had made on the industry.
He said:
“I’ve distinguished myself. If I don’t drop music for a year, it will be obvious in Africa that something is missing. That’s how bold a statement my sound has made.”
The Mavin Records prodigy, songwriter and performing artiste bagging records in different parts of the globe with his smash hit record ‘Calm Down‘ and France is the latest to be added.
Rema has hit another career milestone as the French National Syndicate of Phonographic Publishing (SNEP) via their official social media page disclosed that, the buzzing singer’s song has been certified Diamond.
Taking to their Twitter handle, Rema’s certification was announced with a caption that reads:
“Le titre ‘Calm Down’ de Rema est certifié Single Diamant! 50 000 000 éqivalents streams. Bravo!”.
This translates to:
“Rema’s track ‘Calm Down’ is certified Diamond! 50,000,000 stream equivalents streams. Well done!“.
He joins the likes of Burna Boy with ‘On The Low’ and CKay with ‘Love Nwantiti’ as the only Afrobeats artists with diamond certifications in France.
