Nigerian Afrobeats star Rema has stated that he will not collaborate with fellow artistes simply to satisfy fans or create the impression that they share a cordial relationship.
The singer made this known during an Instagram Live session while addressing questions about the absence of some Afrobeats stars from his latest album.
Rema explained that all the collaborations on the project happened naturally, dismissing suggestions that record labels influenced his choice of featured artistes or that he deliberately sought international recognition through the collaborations.
According to him, he would rather avoid making music with artistes he does not have a genuine relationship with than pretend to be on good terms just to please fans.

“I will not make music with you if we are not cool. I will not make music just to appeal to the fans so it will look like we are not fighting,” he said.
The singer further maintained that he had already crossed certain musical boundaries in 2019, suggesting that he no longer feels pressured to prove himself through collaborations.
He emphasised that musical partnerships should be built on genuine connections rather than public expectations or pressure from fans.
