Akon Says Mavin Records’ Act, Rema Reminds Him Of Wizkid

American singer, Akon, has shared his thoughts on Mavin Records act, Rema in a clip in which the singer was reacting to international acts. He stated that Rema reminds him of Wizkid.

The celebrated singer made the revelation during a radio interview with DJ Envy and Angela Yee of The Breakfast Show.

There has been a lot of buzz around many Nigerian music acts and it appears newcomers are enjoying the privileges that are attached to African music going global in this age. As such, it comes as no surprise that young singer, Rema, is already making waves and performing in different African countries and gradually taking his music across continents.

A lot of social media users have translated this to mean Rema is making giant strides and will eventually become a “Starboy” one day. In addition, some fans of Rema are excited that he is getting such recognition from Akon, who is a successful record producer and has spent decades in the music industry.

19-year-old Rema signed a deal with Jonzing World, a subsidiary of Mavin Records in 2019 and has been making his mark in the Nigerian entertainment industry.

Akon while fielding a question about his career explained that he never took a break off music, but spent some time building Afrobeat back when he was at home in Africa.
