Rema claims to be the PIONEER of Afrobeats blueprint

Rema has stated that he established the blueprint for Afrobeats artists who emerged after 2019.

During his appearance on The Breakfast Club, Rema claimed that he initiated the trend of new artists releasing an extended play (EP) as their debut.

Rema asserted that his approach to the music industry was unique and influential, but feels that his contributions are often overlooked.

He expressed frustration that others are reluctant to acknowledge his impact on Afrobeats, leading him to promote his own achievements.

Rema emphasized that he is not seeking to be hailed as a pioneer, but rather wants to highlight the truth about his innovations in the genre.

He believes that his accomplishments warrant recognition, even if it means self-promotion.

“When I came into the game [music industry], I brought a template. The way new artists come and dominate, mine was different. I started the EP trend. Every [new Afrobeats] artist since 2019 walked on that path like when you come out, you popped out with an EP,” Rema affirmed.

“A lot of people would argue [my innovation in Afrobeats]. I don’t like to feel an Afrobeats Messiah.

“Sometimes, people don’t like young people applauding themselves. Sometimes, it’s not for you to say. Sometimes, it’s the truth but it’s just not for you to say.

“Sometimes I can’t wait for the OGs to say it but since no one is saying it, I might have to say it myself,” he added.
