Rema hails Tekno a Legend.
Popular Nigerian Afrobeats artist Divine Ikubor, known professionally as Rema, has praised and referred to his senior colleague Augustine Miles Kelechi, better known as Tekno, as a legend.
The Mavin prince took to his Twitter account to acknowledge Tekno’s accomplishments in the music industry.
He said that although people continue to applaud musicians who are setting records in the music industry, they should also make an effort to applaud others who haven’t gained much notoriety but are still giving it their all.

According to reports, Rema’s Calm Down tune is the first Afrobeat song to achieve such a feat.
The song “Calm Down” is from Rema’s debut studio album, Rave and Rose, which was released earlier in 2022.
The Mavin record artist also dropped a remix with American singer Selena Gomez, and as of 2022, that song had amassed the highest streams of any Afro-beat song.
