Rema opens up on why he doesn’t chase collaborations

Nigerian singer Divine Ikubor, popularly known as Rema has spoken up on why he does not chase collaborations with other artists.

The singer, while speaking during an Instagram Live session, explained why some Afrobeats artistes were not featured on his album.

Rema revealed that every collaboration on the project happened organically, dismissing suggestions that record labels influenced his choice of featured artistes or that he was trying to make the album appear more international.

He added that he believes collaborations should come from genuine relationships rather than pressure to satisfy fans or create the impression that artistes who may not be on good terms are friends.

“I will not make music with you if we are not cool. I will not make music just to appeal the fans so it will look like we are not fighting,” he said.
