The track, which has already gained massive attention from a viral snippet shared weeks ago, is centered around the theme of true love. It is a subject Rema explores with his signature blend of heartfelt lyrics and hypnotic instrumentals. Fans are already expecting another chart-topping hit. From all indications, “Bout U” is primed to dominate streaming platforms and airwaves in the coming days.
Often referred to as “The Rave Lord” and “The Prince of Afrobeats,” Rema, whose real name is Divine Ikubor, has risen from the streets of Benin City to the global stage. Since signing with Mavin Records and Jonzing World, his breakout single “Dumebi” catapulted him into stardom in 2019. He hasn’t looked back since.
Rema’s unique fusion of Afrobeats, trap, and alté has redefined the genre’s global reach. His debut album, Rave & Roses, and international smash hit “Calm Down,” especially the remix featuring Selena Gomez, made waves globally. The remix topped charts in multiple countries. He’s since performed on some of the world’s biggest stages and collaborated with global artists, further cementing his place as one of Africa’s biggest musical exports.
Despite his success, Rema has maintained a relatively low profile when it comes to controversy. However, he did make headlines in 2023 when he publicly criticized the Nigerian music industry for not giving younger artists enough credit and space to thrive creatively.
With “Bout U,” Rema promises a return to raw, emotional storytelling wrapped in infectious production. Fans, critics, and fellow artists alike are waiting to see what magic he delivers this time.
Midnight can’t come soon enough!
