Johnny Drille applauds Rema’s underrated contribution to Nigerian music

Johnny Drille, the talented singer, believes that Rema, his colleague and record label mate, deserves more recognition for his outstanding contributions to the Nigerian music industry and beyond. According to Johnny Drille, this lack of appreciation is primarily due to bias.

In a recent interview with The Beat 99.9 FM in Lagos, Johnny Drille expressed his opinion, saying, “Not to be controversial or anything, but if Rema were some other big artist in Nigeria, everyone would be shouting at the top of their lungs, saying, ‘Hey! This person is breaking new ground…'”

He continued by highlighting Rema’s impressive achievements at a young age, saying, “For his age, Rema has accomplished some truly remarkable things that, in my opinion, we don’t give him enough credit for. He has one of the biggest songs not only in Africa but in the world with ‘Calm Down,’ which has been on the Billboard Top 10 for nearly a year. This has never been achieved in the history of African music. He is also selling out shows worldwide.”

Johnny Drille emphasized that it appears Rema is just getting started, and he called for more recognition and credit to be given to the young artist for his remarkable contributions to the music industry.
