Nigerian artist Rema, also known as Divine Ikubor, is nearing a major milestone with his hit song Calm Down, which he collaborated on with American singer Selena Gomez. The official music video for the track is set to reach 1 billion views on YouTube, with over 997 million views currently. This achievement has excited fans, as it signifies the song’s massive global success.
However, some fans have pointed out that the Calm Down remix, featuring Selena Gomez, is only available on her YouTube channel. This has sparked discussions, with some speculating that the decision may be due to Selena’s larger social media following. In contrast, others used the opportunity to criticize artists who have not yet reached such high viewership numbers on their own music videos.
Since joining Don Jazzy’s Mavin Records, Rema has made remarkable strides in the music industry, releasing hit songs and steadily growing a dedicated fanbase. His collaboration with Selena Gomez has further amplified his international presence and success.
