The ā€˜Ozebaā€™ crooner also claimed that he started the trend of new artists announcing their debut with an extended play.

ā€œWhen I came into the game [music industry], I brought a template. The way new artists come and dominate, mine was different. I started the EP trend. Every [new Afrobeats] artist since 2019 walked on that path like when you come out, you popped out with an EP,ā€ he stated.

Rema said a lot of people wouldnā€™t want to credit him for his innovation in Afrobeats so he has to blow his own trumpet.

ā€œA lot of people would argue [my innovation in Afrobeats]. I donā€™t like to feel an Afrobeats Messiah.

ā€œSometimes, people donā€™t like young people applauding themselves. Sometimes, itā€™s not for you to say. Sometimes, itā€™s the truth but itā€™s just not for you to say.

ā€œSometimes I canā€™t wait for the OGs to say it but since no one is saying it, I might have to say it myself,ā€ he explained.
