Nigerian artist Divine Ikubor, better known as Rema, recently suggested that his hit single ‘Calm Down’ has significantly influenced the inclusion of an Afrobeats category in international award shows.

In a candid interview on ‘The Breakfast Club,’ Rema confidently placed himself alongside major Afrobeats stars like Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy.

While acknowledging the contributions of these industry veterans, Rema expressed a desire to assert his place in the genre.

“I don’t want to be seen as the Afrobeats Messiah,” he stated.

“I sometimes wish the veterans would acknowledge it, but if no one else will, then I suppose I have to.”

Rema emphasized that his recent successes have had a tangible impact, noting that the creation of an Afrobeats category at prestigious award events was partly due to the success of his music.

“Respect to the OGs,” he added, “but I believe I am one of the Big 4.

The creation of an Afrobeats category in major award shows is a direct result of my song’s success.”

The MTV Video Music Awards, for instance, introduced a Best Afrobeats Song category last year, with Rema’s ‘Calm Down Remix’ featuring Selena Gomez securing the inaugural win.
