Rema reacts to Timaya’s statement that he is the best of the new school singers.
Nigerian singer, Rema has finally responded to the statement Timaya made about him being the leading act among the new crop of singers in the Industry.
In November, Nigerian artist Timaya got down with the hip folks at Cool FM and talked candidly about who, in his opinion, is the father of this new generation of singers.
Timaya said to Cool FM:
Rema, I’m a fan of Rema. Among all the young boys he’s the toppest. Yes o, Rema is their dad o. I’m serious, come on you don’t know? See his arms, see his dressing, like it’s crazy. He’s intentional, his music, his stage performance, no no no come on, and he is a fine young boy. What do you expect?
Recently, Rema had a talk with the awesome people over at Cool FM, and during his interview with them, they told the Rave lord about what Timaya said about him.

Here’s how the “Calm Down” crooner responded.
During the interview, Rema was asked: “We had Timaya here a couple of weeks back and he mentioned, he said of the new cats, of the guys who are doing so well in the industry, you are the popsy. You are their dad. How does that make you feel?”
Wow! Coming from a legend I’m very grateful. Someone told me, my photographer. He told me about Timaya, he told me Timaya rocks with me. Like he just overheard Timaya talking about me and you know? It takes – look, these people are huge! They’ve done a lot for the culture and it means a lot for them to recognize someone young you know doing their thing.
Like I’m not trying to point fingers but there are a lot of OGs that feel too OG to even give the shoutout, but like, it means a lot. For someone to praise you that much. I don’t know if I’m a popsy oh! [laughs] Ehn, I don’t know about that one. I’m just doing my thing and me just believing in myself and just doing my thing, I feel like the people will have to choose that. Like people just call me the prince of Afrobeats not because I started shouting that I’m the prince of Afrobeats but the people choose their king and I think it is what it is.
