Rema, who recently performed at the Ballon d’Or award ceremony, stated this in a published article while covering the fourth edition of The New Wave issue of i-D Magazine.

The 23-year-old singer clarified that while he has no immediate intentions of departing from the music scene, if he were to cease his musical pursuits, he believes his legacy would undeniably secure a prominent place in the “Afrobeats bible.”

“I’m not saying I want to stop. But if I say I want to stop right now, my name is still going to be on the Afrobeats bible, if there is an Afrobeats bible to be dropped. I’ll literally be in the New Testament, on the front page,” Rema said.

Rema also reflected on the initial ridicule he faced for his Bollywood-themed musical style upon rising to stardom in 2019, stressing that no one can deny his significant impact on the global Afrobeats stage.

He said, “Everything they doubted, everything they laughed at me for, I built on it. They called me Indian Boy; I went to India. I’m the first artist to shut down four cities in India, 5000 capacity and above. No one can deny that I’ve impacted Afrobeats on a global scale.”

KanyiDaily had recently reported how Rema delivered a mesmerizing performance at the 2023 Ballon d’Or event held in Paris on Monday night.
