Rema might pay you $10k to dance to his new song

Rema has returned with a new song titled “Kelebu.” The song, which loosely translates to “He Is Coming” in English, marks the Nigerian artist’s latest release following the recent singles “Baby (Is It A Crime)” and “Bout U.” Scroll down to hear the song now.

To promote the release of “Kelebu,” Rema has also launched a challenge that will reward one person $10,000 for creating a dance to accompany the song. The competition is already heating up.

In a statement, Rema said: “Growing up, I didn’t have a phone to create my music taste, my household had different music tastes, I listened to what everybody played. In school parties, we used to dance to a lot of Caribbean and Francophone bounces. We didn’t care about what they were saying because most of them were not even in our local language in Nigeria. They just kept repeating one word with a fantastic instrumental backing it up, and we all danced. Making music now, I’m reliving those moments by expressing it with my art.”

Rema is nearing the end of a world tour in support of the 2024 album Heis. This year he has performed at Coachella as well as a headline date at New York’s Madison Square Garden and a surprise appearance alongside Drake at London’s Wireless Festival.
