“Rema paved the way for me and every other artist from Benin.” Shallipopi.

 

“In Benin, none of us had hope to blow up. We thought we weren’t good enough so we left music to people from other places who were doing it and succeeding. We were talented but we didn’t know a Benin boy could make it to the global stage. But when Rema blew up with his freestyle and D Prince signed him, we knew that there was hope. We then belîeved that if Rema could do it, we could also do it. Before Rema blow up, all of us in Benin were already his fans and we were watching him on Instagram back when he was still trapping. Rema paved the way for us in Benin musically. If I tell you the number of freestyles I dropped before blowing up, you’ll be shocked. I promised myself that I must blow by fîre, by force and I did and it’s all thanks to Rema.” Shallipopi

No matter what you do, just believe in yourself and work hard. Even if it doesn’t pay off, just keep coming and coming and eventually you’ll get the accolades you deserve
