Selena Gomez immediately sent her love to Nigeria after Rema’s second verse in the song “Calm Down.” Rema was named the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards’ (VMAs) Best Afrobeats winner.
When Rema overcame the other nominees, he created history.
The song “It’s Plenty” by Burna Boy, for example ‘Unavailable,’ a song by Davido and Musa Key, Rush by Ayra Starr, People by Libianca, Wizkid with “2 Sugar” by Ayra Starr and “Bandana” by Fireboy DML entered the list but were defeated by Rema.
Selena Gomez expressed her joy immediately after collecting the prize, but she also thanked Rema for giving her the chance to work with him. She expressed her affection for Nigeria and her appreciation for Nigerians.
You’ve Changed My Life Forever, Selena Gomez Tells Rema
Her words: “Thank you so much for believing in me, choosing me to be part of an incredible song that broke records.
“I thank all of you for listening and streaming. I’m sending all my love to Nigeria, thank you.”
Recall that before their VMAs win, Rema had this to say about working on the song: “Calm Down’ is about the events that led me to finding love at the time,” Rema told Pitchfork about the song.
“It started at a party where I saw a girl who stood out from other girls, so I felt like shooting my shot. We spoke and danced…but her friends didn’t let me get any closer, which killed the vibe, but afterward when they weren’t there, we stayed in touch and hit it off.”
