<p>Rema came into limelight after posting a viral freestyle on Instagram to D&#8217;Prince&#8217;s song &#8220;Gucci Gang&#8221;. Wowed by his rare talent, D&#8217;Prince flew him to Lagos and offered him a record deal with Jonzing World, a subsidiary of Mavin Records owned by music executive and producer Don Jazzy. His 2019 hit &#8220;Dumebi&#8221; was the first fruit of the contract.</p>
<p>His international breakthrough happened in 2022 with his single &#8220;Calm Down&#8221;, which led to a remix with American singer Selena Gomez. The song peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot 100 and first on Billboard Afrobeats Songs chart for a record-setting 58 weeks.</p>
