Nigerian singer Rema subtly criticized his senior colleague Burna Boy during the recent Headies Awards ceremony. This feud began when Burna Boy made controversial remarks about Afrobeat music in Nigeria.
Burna Boy's comments stirred controversy as he claimed that 90 percent of Afrobeat songs lack real-life experience and substance. He argued that many artists lack genuine life experiences, resulting in songs without meaningful content. According to him, numerous songs only focus on a luxurious lifestyle or having a great time, which doesn't reflect reality.
At the Headies Awards, Rema didn't hold back in responding to Burna Boy's disrespectful statement. While receiving his award, Rema emphasized the importance of supporting Nigerian music institutions during a critical time. He asserted that regardless of what Burna Boy calls Afrobeat, they would all participate in Afrobeat award shows, suggesting unity within the music industry.
In essence, Rema used the awards ceremony as an opportunity to counter Burna Boy's criticism and stress the need for unity and support within the music community.
