Rema pays tribute to music industry OGs
Nigerian singer Rema has sparked widespread praise for his heartfelt appreciation of his OGs in the music industry.
In a video shared online, Rema recognized the contributions of legendary artists such as Fela Kuti, Don Jazzy, 2Baba, D’banj, Davido, Wizkid, Burna Boy, and others who paved the way for his success.
Rema acknowledged that these pioneers were the first to achieve remarkable milestones, including flying private jets and selling out stadium shows.
He expressed his gratitude for the benefits he has enjoyed as a result of their hard work and highlighted the responsibility to pay it forward and open doors for others.
“They were the first even flying private jets before any of us, they were the first doing stadium shows before any of us, but it had to take generations to start opening doors. We finally got the attention we’ve been working so hard for decades. I won’t lie, getting in the game, I enjoyed the benefit of their hard work, and I feel like it’s an unconscious responsibility for me to open doors as well,” Rema said.
Rema’s gesture has been met with widespread admiration, with many commending his humility and recognition of the contributions of those who came before him.
“Shout to the OGs Don Jazzy, Wizkid, Burna Boy, Davido, 2baba, D’banj, Psquare & others. I enjoyed the benefit of their hardwork.”
