Afrobeats sensation Divine Ikubor, popularly known as Rema, has issued a stern warning to fellow celebrities copying his fashion style.
Rema claimed that some celebrities and their stylists were sending emails to clothing brands asking them to make replicas of his outfits for them.
He threatened to disrupt their shows and strip them if they did not desist from copying his style.
On his X handle on Saturday, the ‘Calm Down’ singer wrote: “Tell your stylists to stop sending mails to brands with my name to get clothes imma pull up to your show and strip u on stage cuz that’s my shit HOE! fake celebrities, fake industry.”
Rema’s latest EP, Ravage, is a testament to his success, as it debuted on the charts in over 50 countries a few hours after its release on Friday, October 26, 2023.
This is coming after the singer made history as the first African artist to win a Chinese Music Award.
The singer achieved the feat after his song ‘Calm Down’ remix with American superstar Selena Gomez won the Best Collaboration of the Year at the 2024 Hito Music Award in the Republic of China.
Rema joined D’Prince’s Jonzing World, a subsidiary of Mavin Records, in 2019.
He has been enjoying a massive reception from music lovers since he came into the limelight.
The singer released his eponymous debut EP ‘Rema’ in 2019.
His hit single ‘Calm Down’ has continued to amass massive numbers on streaming services, break records, and earn awards.
In December 2023, Rema was listed as one of the singers who dominated the year’s charts of most exported artistes in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) on Spotify.
He also made history at the 2023 Billboard Music Awards (BMAs) alongside Burna Boy, the Afro-fusion star; the duo became the first winners of the newly created Afrobeats Awards.
