Mavin star Rema has sparked a conversation in the Nigerian music industry by declaring that the era of the ‘Big 3’ is over.
In a recent tweet, Rema stated that the industry has now entered a new phase, with a ‘Big 4’ taking center stage. The ‘Big 3’ term was previously used to describe the top three Nigerian artists.
Rema’s tweet read, “No more Big 3, there’s now a Big 4. Afrobeat >> AfroAnything.”
This statement suggests that Afrobeats, as a genre, has grown beyond any other sub-genre or categorization linked to the term “afro.” Rema’s declaration has sparked debate and discussion within the music industry, with many wondering who the new ‘Big 4’ artists might be.
