Nigeria Nigerian Music Scene Rattled as Rema Declares Himself Part of Nigerian Music's 'Big 4'

Fast-rising sensation Divine Ikubor, better known as Rema, asserted his place among the country's elite artists. With a series of tweets, Rema challenged the traditional hierarchy dominated by Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy, claiming a spot in the coveted "Big 4."

Rema's assertion came as no surprise to those familiar with his meteoric rise to stardom. Since bursting onto the scene in 2019, the Mavin star has captivated audiences with his unique blend of Afrobeat and R&B, earning accolades and recognition on both local and global stages.

However, Rema didn't stop there. In a candid revelation, he accused labels of attempting to "clone" him, expressing frustration at being used as a prototype by other artists. His candid remarks shed light on the challenges faced by emerging talents in an industry often characterized by imitation and conformity.

The response to Rema's outburst was mixed, with netizens expressing conflicting opinions on his stance. While some applauded his confidence and musical achievements, others questioned his place among Nigeria's top artists, citing his relatively short tenure in the industry.
