In a groundbreaking achievement, music sensation Rema has become the first African artiste to feature on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine.
This milestone marks a significant breakthrough for African music on the global stage.
The 23-year-old Afrobeats superstar, known for his chart-topping hits like “Dumebi,” “Woman,” and “Calm Down,” has been recognized for his trailblazing efforts in pushing African music to new heights.
Rema’s feature on the cover of Rolling Stone’s April edition is a testament to his growing influence and popularity worldwide.
To celebrate this achievement, Rema delivered an electrifying performance at the Rolling Stone concert, thrilling audiences with his signature energy and stage presence.
This feat comes on the heels of his recent feature on the cover of Dazed Magazine, another prominent international platform.
Rema’s rise to fame began in 2019 after signing with Mavin Records. His music has since become a global phenomenon, with “Calm Down” featuring Selena Gomez becoming the most streamed Afrobeats track in history.
The song has earned him multiple platinum certifications and broken records as the first African-led track to surpass a billion streams on Spotify.
Rema’s achievements extend beyond music, as he has also made history as the first African artiste to perform at the prestigious Ballon d’Or ceremony. His performance at the 2023 Ballon d’Or ceremony in Paris, France, further solidified his position as a global music icon.
