Nigerian international act, Rema and American singer, Selena Gomez, on Tuesday, won an award at the just concluded MTV Video Music Awards.
The 2023’s edition of the show saw organisers making history with the introduction of the ‘Best Afrobeats,’ category which saw Nigeria’s Rema win with the song ‘Calm Down, featuring Selena Gomez.
The event was held on Tuesday at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, United States of America.
Before their VMAs win, Rema had this to say about working on the song: “‘Calm Down’ is about the events that led me to finding love at the time,” Rema told Pitchfork about the song. “It started at a party where I saw a girl who stood out from other girls, so I felt like shooting my shot. We spoke and danced…but her friends didn’t let me get any closer, which killed the vibe, but afterward when they weren’t there, we stayed in touch and hit it off.”
