Rema and Selena Gomez Dominate VMAs with Historic Wins
Nigerian artist Rema continues to make waves in the music industry, winning the best Afrobeats song at the MTV VMAs for his hit "Calm Down" with Selena Gomez. The song has also achieved a streaming record, becoming the first African-led track to join Spotify's Billions Club with over a billion streams. Rema's rise to success has been steady since his 2019 single "Dumebi," and he has recently performed at the NBA All-Star halftime. His debut album "Raves & Roses" has garnered him awards and recognition, and he has even made it onto former President Barack Obama's summer playlists. Rema's journey in music began at a church in his hometown, and he has since become a prominent figure in the Afrobeats genre.
