Johnny Drille speaks on why Nigerians don’t give Rema enough credit
Superb vocalist Johnny Drille has claimed that Rema, his record label partner, and his colleagues don’t receive enough credit for his outstanding contributions to the Nigerian music industry and other areas.
Even with all of Rema’s early musical accomplishments, the “Believe Me” crooner claimed that Nigerians don’t appreciate him because of bias.
Speaking in a recent interview with The Beat 99.9 FM, Lagos, Johnny Drille said, “Not to be controversial or anything but if Rema was some other artistes, other big artistes in Nigeria, everyone would be screaming at their lungs like, ‘Hey! This person is breaking grounds..’
“And Rema for his age has done some really incredible things that I don’t think we give him enough credit for. I mean, he has literally one of the biggest songs not just in Africa but in the world with ‘Calm Down’ which has been on the Billboard Top 10 for almost a year. That has never been done in the history of African music. And he is having a lot of sold out shows all over the world.
“It just feels to me like he’s just getting started. We need to give the young man more credit.”
