The 23 year old singer also finished the year as the second-ranking Afrobeats artist behind Burna Boy.
After becoming the youngest African artist to sell out the O2, the Nigerian artist was honoured by Spotify for his phenomenal achievement with the music streaming app revealing that Rema's hit song had amassed astonishing 1 billion streams on the music streaming platform.
It’s a blessing. It’s not just a big win for me, my team and family, it’s also a big one for the culture. I feel really happy and I’m really proud of the fans as well for going back to the song and putting people on the song. Shout out to the DJs and everyone who made this possible,” said Rema when he heard the news from Spotify.
He isn't Kenyan but boy is it a breath of fresh air seeing Africans (not black Americans) smash ceilings and break records, taking the world by storm! To more wins, for artists across the African continent.
