Mavin breakout star Rema is conquering the world of music one step at a time and everyone is paying attention, including multiple Grammy award-winning rapper Drake.
This is after the latter took to Instagram to have a live session with his fans and he played songs. On his playlist was Rema’s smash hit song, Dumebi.
Drake didn’t stop at just playing Rema’s music to his fans but also gave the young Nigerian star a shoutout by telling fans that they have a “sick song together.”
Drake said, “Big up Rema too. We have a sick song together”
He then continued playing the song. This continues the strategic positioning that MAVIN Records has been commendably doing with Rema. During an Instagram Live, Drake also premiered a new song.
Check out the video below:
Drake has the habit of jumping on cultural trends whenever it suits him. The Canadian rapper has tied on different hats, from trap to pop to dancehall; and more recently grime.
His first entry into Afrobeats was his collaborations with Nigerian superstar Wizkid in 2016. And now it seems like he has his eyes on Rema to provide him with another genre-switch.
Either way, we await the release of the “sick song”. Surely, it would provide a hit to both their repertoires.
