  • Iron Man

Winning 2019 Headies Next Rated Award

Much to the surprise of many Rema emerged the winner of the Headies 2019 “Next Rated” Award.

It came as a surprise cause the category was packed with stars like Fireboy and Zlatan Ibile.

You would recall that Zlatan has been shinning in the music industry since the last year 2018 and no one could have thought Rema who just hit the Industry this year could floor him in this category.
