Popular singer, Crown Uzama, aka Shallipopi, has credited his colleague, Divine Ikubor, popularly known as Rema, for inspiring him and other young artists from Edo State to believe in their talents.
In a recent interview on The Zero Conditions podcast, the Benin-born singer spoke on how Rema, the ‘Calm Down’ crooner, served as a beacon of hope for artists in Benin.

Shallipopi said that prior to Rema’s emergence, there was a lack of confidence among artists in Benin, with many believing that musical stardom was only achievable for those in Lagos and Abuja.
Rema’s journey to stardom began with the attraction of his freestyle videos on social media, capturing the interest of D’Prince, ultimately resulting in his signing with Mavin Records.
