Fast-rising Afrobeats star, Rema took to his social media accounts with an emotional message to celebrate this mind-blowing career landmark after his collaboration with Selena Gomez “Calm Down” peaked at No #8 on the Billboard Hot 100.

With over 38 million monthly listeners on Spotify and this massive career achievement, We all have to agree that, the rave Lorde Rema is the pacesetter for the new generation of Afrobeats artists, just two Nigerian artists have entered the top 10, Wizkid was the first artist in 2016 sitting on the No #1 spot with “One Dance” featuring Drake and “Essence” featuring Tems peaked on the No #1 spot.
