Nigerian Afrobeats sensation Rema has addressed critics who misinterpret his self-confidence as arrogance, reaffirming his belief in his place among the genre’s greatest artists.
Speaking in an interview with Rolling Stone, the “Calm Down” hitmaker explained that his confidence is rooted in years of hard work and dedication.
He questioned why acknowledging his own success is seen as a problem, insisting that there is nothing wrong with an artist recognizing their own greatness.
Rema emphasized that his statement was not meant to diminish others but rather to highlight his contributions to Afrobeats.
He referenced Kendrick Lamar’s recent remarks about self-recognition, making it clear that he is not trying to overshadow anyone but rather advocating for unity in the industry.
The 24-year-old star’s comments have sparked conversations among fans, with some praising his confidence while others debate his place in the Afrobeats hierarchy. However, Rema remains firm in his stance, making it clear that believing in oneself should never be mistaken for arrogance.
