Nigerian singer Rema has opened up about overcoming early online criticism to achieve global success, highlighting his groundbreaking tour in India.
In an interview shared on X Friday, Rema expressed gratitude for turning negativity into motivation, admitting how giving up would have been devastating.
He said, “And it’s just beautiful to see something that people trolled me for, criticised me for. And, you know, I’m benefiting from that. It’s like, imagine if I stopped. Imagine if I actually listened to the trolls and was like, oh, I think I should switch it off.
“You know, imagine. And, like, what, four years later, it paid and it paid. And more to come. You know, because it’s a huge territory, right? And I’m actually the first person to actually tour India. You know, from the Afrobeats, basically. And I even came from Africa, if I’m not wrong, or if I’m mistaken, forgive me. But it’s a big, huge deal. And it’s not just about the wedding, it’s just about the reception.”
Four years after initial doubts over his unique sound, Rema has emerged as a pioneer, potentially becoming the first Afrobeats artist to tour India. His journey includes a notable performance at the Ambani wedding, marking a significant moment that reflects the growing acceptance of Afrobeats in India’s diverse cultural scene.
