That’s how the argument began. I had engaged one of the popular die hard fans from Wizkid FC on why Wizkid didn’t deserve his Headies nomination and I even said “Rema has done more”
But has Rema really done more than Wizkid this year alone?
If we are to be sincere, yeah. But let’s reason this.
Rema had droppped his EP, Rema EP which contained he hits, Dumebi and Corny which were one of the bangers that dominated the music space for the first quarter of the year.
Wizkid was missing, still enjoying his three month hiatus and had returned in April to collaborate with Larry Gaage on Low which was popular just for a few months before it faded but let’s agree, Dumebi is bigger in terms of popularity than Low.
While we can agree Wizkid has eventually marked his return to the music space with a couple of releases, they’ve been poorly received.
Ghetto Love, his first official song of 2019 was harshly criticized by many and while Joro was rich in rhythm and sound, many found the lyrical content unimpressive especially from someone who had collaborated with Beyonce on Brown Skin Girl.
In contrast, Rema continues to lead conversations with Dumebi. The record has been nominated for the song of the year and Rema himself is leading in terms of who might win the Next Rated Award.
Rema has also dropped two more projects after his first EP, releasing “Rema FreeStyle EP” and the recently released “Bad Commando EP” has been receiving positive reviews and “Lady”, a track from the EP has been enjoying massive airplay on radio.
Yeah, Wizkid‘s Made In Lagos would be released in a few weeks and perhaps Wizkid’s impact might be felt the more in the music industry.
So Guys, Here is a little question for you
Do We Agree That Rema Has Done More Than Wizkid This Year Alone In The Nigerian Music Space?
