Rema sounds too much like Wizkid to be considered better than him. Y’all should calm down please.
I like the chorus to Dumebi shaa.

Rema should do a song with Wizkid so that all of you can rest. Obvs Don Jazzy can arrange this.

Yeah, Wizkid has been put in the same sentence with Fela, that’s cus of his achievements and greatness.. Wizkid is popular, Wizkid is famous, wizkid is a Global super star, Wizkid is talented, wizkid has achieved greater things that Fela never achieved in his era. https://t.co/fMVh5CxjlP

What are your qualities of comparing Rema to Wizkid? Wizkid has every quality to be put in the same sentence as Fela, i wasn’t a fan of him, never will I be. But y’all say he was an activist, but what does an activist got to do with music?

— JAH BLESSINGS IS ENOUGH 4 ME (@kinq_davide) May 23, 2019

WizKid x Flash x Rema
I would like to hear all three artists on a song.
It would be ???

Understand the Gist that Rema should have a story line for Dumebi Video but you gota appreciate the fact it had no Naked Girls… Think it’s a plot to catch Fans his age like Hola At Your Boy did in 2011.

Sounds like Wizkid Coming 2.0

REMA IS MORE TALENTED THAN WIZKID

Some fans of Mavin Record’s latest signee, Rema say he sings like Afropop star, Wizkid. The 18-year-old fast became a fan favorite since the release of his debut EP ‘Rema’. However, fans have also pinned Wizkid as the major influence on his music. pic.twitter.com/pijO3CeWNa

I’m a Wiz fan o, but this #Gbese of a song isn’t just it,#wizkid and Rema should better not make any song together, if not y’all won’t hear anything in the song,Wizkid say na “naira kposkpos ti kpong tun kpang kpang kpang, kilomu ton ton ti kom kun kwang kwang kwang”?? legend?

— Punkiee (@JoshuaUmoh9) May 21, 2019

Please those of y’all saying I’m hiding under “I am a Wiz fan” blah blah, please I’m a die hard Wiz fan, but you guys should learn to say the truth,Wizkid songs of recent are below his standard, and lacks lyrics unlike before, just hope he gets back to doing what I know him for?

— Punkiee (@JoshuaUmoh9) May 21, 2019

Yeah wizkid don’t have good lyrics yen yen….how many times have u stream the ASA new song this week full of good lyrics…nah una prefer rema dumebi to surulere of demee vee full of pray….Guy if you like shout from today to tomorrow we go still vibe to the song keep crying

— Skepwizzy4 (@Abassquadridol1) May 21, 2019

Can Nigerians just look past sentiments and be truthful to themselves for once?
What happened to the Wizkid that sang Ojuelegba and Baba Nla and the rest, those songs were perfect, mad beats and nice lyrical content , I still vibe to them very much, see a song like Lagos vibes?

— Punkiee (@JoshuaUmoh9) May 21, 2019

BE HONEST!!

“Dumebi” by Rema or “Soco” by Wizkid….

Personally, which of these two jams makes you lose home training?

Your choice ???? pic.twitter.com/CEep6zI9xq
