AFTER HIS COLLABORATION WITH SELENA GOMEZ, REMA BECAME AN UPCOMING ARTIST, HIS CAREER IS NOT MOVING

This is what many African fans have begun to think about Rema. It’s true “Calm Down” is the biggest African song of all time so far, but a single international hit song does not make someone a big artist.

If we start judging our artists based solely on a hit song they achieved via TikTok trends, we will overlook how they are truly evolving in their careers, and they may lose relevance quickly.

Rema actually became bigger after the song with Selena, and his level of artistry has only improved. He can confidently sell out shows worldwide, and his music itself is performing well.

Look at Ckay’s career after “Love Nwantiti,” Libianca’s after “People,” and Tyla’s after “Water.” You’ll notice these talented artists often face a sharp decline after their first hit song, struggling to follow up with successful projects because fans expect each subsequent release to match the initial success, which isn’t realistic in the music industry.

Rema’s track “Charm” recently hit 100 million streams on Spotify, a milestone worth celebrating.

This topic is worth discussing and we need to shed more light on things like this.
