The declaration came through Rema’s recent social media post, where he proclaimed a shift in the hierarchy, stating, “No more Big 3, there’s now a Big 4.”
The assertion has triggered a flurry of reactions within the music community, with some enthusiasts rallying behind Rema’s audacity, while others argue that despite his notable achievements on streaming platforms and charts, he still lacks the seasoned consistency synonymous with his counterparts.

The debate sparked by Rema’s assertion highlights the evolving landscape of Nigerian music, where established norms are constantly being challenged, and fresh talents are making their mark on the global stage.
