"Asia Showed Me Love Like No Other" – Rema Opens Up to Rolling Stone
Rema’s music has taken him around the world, from sold-out shows in Europe to headlining major festivals in the U.S. But when asked about the most unforgettable place his music has brought him, the Afrobeats sensation had a surprising answer—Asia.
In a recent Rolling Stone interview, the Calm Down hitmaker expressed his deep appreciation for his Asian fanbase. “The best place my music has taken me would be Asia,” he revealed, highlighting the overwhelming love and support he has received from fans across the continent.
With his unique fusion of Afrobeats, trap, and R&B, Rema has built an international following, but his impact in Asia has been particularly phenomenal. Countries like India, Japan, and South Korea have embraced his sound, turning him into one of the biggest African artists on the global stage. Calm Down, especially after its remix with Selena Gomez, shattered records in these regions, racking up billions of streams and dominating music charts.
Beyond the numbers, Rema’s connection with his Asian fans is evident in the way they sing along to every lyric at his concerts. His recent performances across the continent have drawn massive crowds, proving that Afrobeats has truly found a home in Asia.
As Afrobeats continues to break barriers, Rema remains one of its leading pioneers, consistently pushing the genre to new heights. With every hit, every tour, and every milestone, he cements his place as one of the most influential artists of his generation.
