Rema is soooo intelligent🦇

[@jaburollup]

Love how you asked him about rap. Very KTOish but also real Rema fans know and can hear the Hip-Hop influence in his Afrobeat music.

[@nmg1909]

Why are you guys always want to validate influence about Afrobeat? Who then influence hip hop? Did it fall from the sky?

[@guy_viewer2]

@@nmg1909it’s circular bro Hip hop got influence from African music, other African American genres like disco, music from the Caribbean, there’s been many crossovers. Music influence music influence music

@@gabrielimanzi5581 all I said is these Rema started out as a rapper, but you callin hip hop “thuggery” yeah ok. You weird

[@rickyronny4019]

@@gabrielimanzi5581 hip hop is a big multifaceted genre that’s persisted for decades and evolved in different ways, but to simpletons like you, it just boils down to thuggery and nothing else 🙄

imo rema def wants to make rap again or atleast drop an ep or project but his label most likely wont let him because u can see he had a genuine love for it and its almost as if hes supressing it

[@UjerekreGoodnews]

He's still rapping hehe and ozeba was quasi rapping, there's an unreleased song with tyla where he was drill rapping, and last year he dropped a freestyle in rave and Roses ultra
