The Nigerian music industry continues to produce exceptional talents, and Rema is undoubtedly one of the brightest stars to emerge from the West African country. The 21-year-old artist has made history by entering the Guinness World Record with his hit song "Calm Down."
Rema's achievement is a remarkable feat, and it speaks to his talent, creativity, and hard work. The Guinness World Record recognised Rema for securing the first number 1 hit on the world's first regional streaming chart and the first-ever official chart in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). This accomplishment is not only a testament to Rema's musical prowess but also a reflection of the growing influence of African music on the global music scene.
Rema's rise to fame has been nothing short of meteoric. Born Divine Ikubor in Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria, Rema first gained attention with his single "Iron Man." He went on to sign a deal with Jonzing World, a subsidiary of Mavin Records, and has since released several successful songs and EPs, earning critical acclaim and a growing fan base across the continent and beyond.
"Calm Down" is one of Rema's most popular songs to date, and its entry into the Guinness World Record is a testament to its enduring appeal. The track was released in 2019 as part of Rema's eponymous debut EP and quickly became a fan favorite. With its catchy chorus and infectious beat, "Calm Down" embodies Rema's unique style and energy, showcasing his versatility as an artist and his ability to create music that resonates with audiences worldwide.
Rema's Guinness World Record achievement is a significant milestone for African music and the Nigerian music industry, in particular. The recognition places Rema in the same league as other Nigerian music icons such as Femi Kuti and Wizkid, who have also secured Guinness World Records in the past. It is a testament to the fact that Nigerian music continues to evolve and grow, capturing the attention of global audiences and cementing its place on the world stage.
As Rema continues to push the boundaries of African music and inspire audiences worldwide, his Guinness World Record achievement is a reminder that there are no limits to what African music can achieve. It is a call to action for African musicians to continue to create groundbreaking music that connects people across borders and cultures, bringing joy and celebration to our lives. Rema's entry into the Guinness World Record is a proud moment for Nigeria, Africa, and the global music industry as a whole.
