I’m One of the Greats – Rema Defends His Afrobeats Legacy

Afrobeats star Rema has doubled down on his claim of being one of the genre’s greatest artistes, attributing his success to relentless hard work and dedication.

In a recent interview, the 24-year-old addressed the backlash from his previous statement, where he confidently ranked himself among Nigeria’s top four artistes. According to him, his assertion is not about arrogance but a recognition of his achievements.

“So on Heis, I was talking a lot of s**t. It’s not cocky. What stops you from saying you’re the best? You can say it and stand your ground. It’s even humble to say four,” Rema explained.

He also emphasized his commitment to unity within the Afrobeats community, distancing himself from Kendrick Lamar’s controversial “It’s just big me” diss line.

“I didn’t pull down the two, I didn’t pull down the three. I just see myself as one of the greats, and it’s a problem. I’m not saying ‘f**k everybody.’ I really vouch for the unity of Afrobeats,” he added.

Rema’s bold stance continues to spark debate, but his influence on the genre remains undeniable.
