Renowned musician, Divine Ikubor, popularly known as Rema, has raised concerns about his fellow artists allegedly imitating his musical style and branding. In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, the artist, who recently received six nominations at the 2023 Billboard Music Awards, expressed his belief that some singers are borrowing elements of his unique style while not giving him due credit.
Flattered by Imitation
Although Rema acknowledges that he often goes uncredited for the influence he has on his peers, he maintains a surprisingly positive perspective. Rather than feeling resentful, he finds it “flattering” that others are drawing inspiration from his work. This attitude reflects his desire to bring about change and innovation in the Afrobeats music scene, which has been a driving force throughout his career.
Rema’s Musical Journey and Aspirations
Rema’s commitment to his craft is evident as he has been consistently active in the music industry for four years, with a continuous stream of hit songs and live performances. While he recognizes the importance of taking breaks, he prefers to stay engaged and avoid idleness. He attributes this drive to his ambitious plans for the evolution of the Afrobeats genre, encompassing sound, live performances, and branding.
The artist’s determination to influence and redefine the music landscape is unwavering. Despite some artists failing to acknowledge his contributions, Rema remains focused on his mission to shape the future of Afrobeats. His resilience and willingness to inspire change set him apart as a creative force within the industry.
