Popular singer Crown Uzama, also known as Shallipopi, has revealed that his colleague Rema served as an inspiration for him and other artists from Edo State, encouraging them to believe in their talents.

He credited the "Calm Down" crooner as a beacon of hope for artists from their region.

Shallipopi made these comments in a recent episode of The Zero Conditions podcast, highlighting the positive impact that Rema has had on aspiring artists, particularly those from Edo State.

Rema's success has evidently served as motivation for others in the industry.

He said, “Benin as a place, none of us get hope to blow. We thought musical stardom was only attainable for Lagos and Abuja residents. We didn’t had the hope that we too could achieve spotlight. It was after Rema came, after D’Prince signed him to Jonzing World, that was when he realised that is also possible for Benin artists to hit stardom. There’s hope. If Rema cross over, we go fit cross over.

“When Rema went to Lagos, we were watching him. We are his day-one fans. He knows. We’ve been following since when he was posting freestyle videos on social to his trap EP to his new height. He was the one who gave us hope that we too can make it.”
