Afrobeats superstar, Divine Ikubor, popularly known as Rema, has refuted claims of arrogance.

Rema asserted that he is simply confident and should not be mistaken for arrogance.

This statement comes in response to the controversy surrounding his recent declaration of being one of the greatest Afrobeats’ artistes.

In an interview with Rolling Stone, Rema explained that his belief in his greatness is as a result of years of hard work and dedication.

He said, “So on Heis, I was talking a lot of s**t. It is not cocky. It is like, what stops you from saying you’re the best? You can say it and stand your ground. It is even humble to say four.

“I didn’t pull down the two, I didn’t pull down the three. I just see myself as one of the greats, and it’s a problem. I’m not saying ‘oh f**k everybody.’ I really vouch for the unity of Afrobeats.”
