“Cease attempting to replicate me,” Rema cautions record labels.

In an Instagram post, Rema wrote, “Stop trying to clone me, find your own sound and push that. I’ll even help you, just stop copying my style. I’m a next-generation artist, I have no predecessors.” The rising star also called out record labels for not giving enough freedom and creativity to their artists, stating that it hinders growth and progress in the music industry. He encouraged artists to be original and unique, rather than following a formula for success.

This statement from the ‘Calm Down’ singer shows his frustration with labels trying to replicate his success by using similar templates for other artists. He claims to have made a big impact in the Afrobeat scene with his EPs, and believes that every new artist since 2019 has copied his style. This suggests that he is a trendsetter in the music industry and has a unique sound that others are trying to imitate.
