Rema and Selena Gomez Song “Calm Down” Achieve 1 Billion YouTube Views

Rema, the Afrobeats sensation, hits a historic milestone in Nigerian music with ‘Calm Down,’ which features Selena Gomez, reaching 1 billion YouTube streams.

Without a question, Rema had a great 2024, winning multiple honours following the release of singles such as ‘Ozeba’, ‘Aza Man’, and ‘Benin Boys’ with Shalipopi, which dominated music platforms worldwide.

Rema’s ‘Calm Down’ also earned him a historic accomplishment: he became the first Afrobeats musician to perform at the 2024 Ballon d’Or presentation.

Rema and Selena Gomez’s collaborative smash track ‘Calm Down’, released in 2023, has dominated Billboard charts and achieved astounding milestones.

Its worth noting that Rema has earned a prestigious nomination for the 2025 Grammy Awards, scheduled to take place in Los Angeles, USA.

Recall, Rema, revealed his greatest motivator. During an interview with The Breakfast Club, the “HE HE HE” crooner revealed his creative process and the secret to his success.

He said: “I would say number one; my motivation has always been family. I feel like my family has gotten larger as a result of the love and support I’ve received in achieving my goals.”

“I’d say that I feel like I have so much responsibility now; leaving the hood, the first thing you want to do is feed your family, and when you get into the game, you see all the duties that come with being an artist or being picked.”

Rema expressed his great feeling of obligation and gratitude to those who supported him, demonstrating that his motivation stems from both personal and professional commitments.

He added, “There are different people called for different purposes, and when you look around, you will notice that the people who helped you realise your ambitions also have dreams.

Sometimes you have to take a break and ask them, ‘What do you want?’ And my manager would say, ‘I want to manage the biggest artiste out of Africa,’ and I wanted to get him that.” “I have diverse drives; not everything is about money exchange. “Every responsibility is not entirely mine,” he clarified.
