‘Labels are trying to clone me… no more Big 3’ — Rema goes on fresh X rant
Divine Ikubor, the singer better known as Rema, has voiced his frustration about everything concerning Afrobeats in a lengthy X rant.
In a flurry of tweets, Rema alleged that music labels are “trying to clone me” — implying that some record labels are trying to model their artistes after him.
The Afrobeats star also argued that most artistes have used him as a template since he broke onto the scene in 2019.
The ‘Calm Down’ hitmaker declared that he is officially on par with the country’s biggest three artistes — Davido, Wizkid and Burna Boy.
“No more Big 3 there’s now a Big 4,” he wrote.
“Tell your stylists to stop sending mails to brands with my name to get clothes imma pull up to your show and strip u on stage cuz that’s my sh*t HOE! fake celebrities, fake industry.
“Labels get creative, stop trying to clone me. Rema made Afrobeat EP’s a Big statement. Every new Artist since 2019 ate from the same template. Uh oh.
“They wanna live fast. They take the crazy advance. The music is fueled by pressure. Then they dump it on y’all. The new age Afro cycle, I love it.”
Reacting to the assumption that he must be kicking off an album cycle with the rant, Rema wrote: “No new music. Sorry. I’m Too big for fake PR bye!”
