Emerging talent from Mavin Records, Rema, clinched the award for Best Afrobeats, a recently introduced category, for his reworked track “Calm Down,” featuring Selena Gomez, at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards on Tuesday. He triumphed over other prominent Afrobeats artists like Burna Boy, Davido, Wizkid, Fire Boy, Ayra Starr, and Labianca to secure the win.
Over the weekend, the song “Calm Down” surpassed an impressive billion streams on Spotify. “This holds immense significance, witnessing the immense growth of Afrobeats,” remarked Rema as he accepted the coveted trophy.
In the same light, Selena Gomez also sends love to Nigeria as she congratulates Rema on the win. Remember that the singer has once taken to twitter to express how much she loves the young Artiste. Selena believes that the song with Rema is one of the best parts of her career as an artiste.
