I Won’t Make Music With You If We’re Not Cool – Rema Speaks On Collaborations

Nigerian singer Divine Ikubor, popularly known as Rema, has explained why he is unwilling to collaborate with fellow Afrobeats artistes with whom he does not share a good relationship.

According to Bush Radio Academy, the singer made this known during an Instagram Live session while responding to questions about artistes who were absent from his album.

Rema explained that the collaborations featured on the project came about naturally and were influenced by genuine relationships rather than pressure from fans.

He stressed that he would not record music with another artiste simply to satisfy public expectations or create the impression that they share a cordial relationship when that is not the case.

The singer maintained that personal relationships matter to him when deciding who to work with, insisting that he sees no reason to pretend to be friends with someone just for a musical collaboration.

He said, “I will not make music with you if we are not cool. I will not make music just to appeal the fans so it will look like we are not fighting.”
