On April 28, Sunday, Rema, the talented singer and rapper, took to Twitter to express his frustration and concern about record labels. He went on a passionate rant, sharing his thoughts and emotions with his followers. It was quite a fiery outburst from the artist.

 

"No more Big 3 there’s now a Big 4," he began. From there, he wrote in multiple tweets: "Tell your stylists to stop sending mails to brands with my name to get clothes imma pull up to your show and strip u on stage cuz that’s my sh*t HOE! fake celebrities, fake industry," as well as "Labels get creative, stop trying to clone me." 

Later in the day, he further added: "Rema made Afrobeat EP’s a Big statement. Every new Artist since 2019 ate from the same template. Uh oh."

"He’s not even capping," one fan wrote. "Ep culture as the first project for any artist started from Rema. We’ve had Omah Lay, Ruger, Buju, Asake copy this template." Others shared their picks for a "big 4." Burna Boy, Wizkid, Davido, and Tems were the most popular choices.
