Rema’s global hit “Calm Down” sparks disappointment as he is snubbed for a Grammy nomination in favor of Ayra Starr.
In the wake of the unveiling of nominations for the 66th Grammy Awards last Friday, the spotlight in the Nigerian music scene took a curious turn as Divine Ikubor, popularly known as Rema, emerged as a trending topic due to his conspicuous absence from the esteemed list of nominees. While celebrated artists such as Davido, Burna Boy, Olamide, Asake, and Ayra Starr secured coveted nominations in various categories, Rema’s name was notably missing from the roster, sparking a wave of discussion and speculation within the music community.
Despite Rema’s global acclaim, evidenced by his international performances and chart-topping hits like “Calm Down,” which many deemed Grammy-worthy, his omission left fans and industry observers puzzled. Expressing their thoughts in the comment section, opinions ranged from questioning the eligibility of his songs to attributing the oversight to perceived Grammy politics. Some argued that Rema’s track record of winning other significant awards and dominating the African music scene should have secured him a place among the nominees.

One Aderoyal Jr raised doubts about the eligibility of Rema’s song, stating, “The song is not eligible,” while Richie suggested that the Recording Academy’s decision-making might be influenced by political factors, asserting, “So y’all don’t know @recordingacademy is politics? Same reason US artists don’t rate them.” Fans, like Tee Tempa, expressed their belief that Rema deserved a nomination, highlighting his significant contributions to the industry.
Amidst the discussions, Rema’s supporters emphasized that regardless of Grammy recognition, the artist continues to thrive in his career, enjoying international performances and accolades. One fan, Abimbola Icey, pointed out, “Grammy or no Grammy, he is still cashing out and enjoying his life.”
Addressing the Grammy controversy, Rema recently made history with a groundbreaking performance at the Ballon d’Or awards in Paris, becoming the first Afrobeat artist to grace the prestigious ceremony. His show-stopping rendition of “Calm Down” garnered widespread acclaim, further solidifying his impact on the global music stage.
Reflecting on his influence in the music industry, Rema asserted in an interview with I_d magazine that his contributions to Afrobeats are undeniable. Despite facing allegations of being associated with the Illuminati, fueled by his use of bat emojis, Rema firmly denied any affiliation with secret cults, attributing his success to hard work and his dedication to creating art that glorifies God. In the grand scheme of things, Rema remains unfazed by the Grammy snub, confident in his ability to continue making strides and leaving an indelible mark on the music landscape.

Prayer is useless, put in hard work and effort to prosper. I’m not up to 30, but I have properties everywhere in the world – Ajebo Danny said
Nigerian social media influencer and cryptocurrency mogul, Ajebo Danny, has sparked intense online debates with his provocative statements about prayer, night vigils, and wealth creation.
In a video that quickly went viral on X (formerly Twitter), the outspoken entrepreneur dismissed the notion that spiritual practices, such as night vigils and prayers, could generate more wealth than his relentless work ethic and well-planned investments.
Danny’s bold assertion included:
“It is not possible; your night vigil and prayer cannot outwork me, who stays up all night. Go to your night vigil for 30 days and see how much I would make in the same 30 days.”
He emphasized that discipline, strategic thinking, and consistent effort are the key pillars of his financial achievements.
Danny also shed light on his impressive accomplishments at a young age, sharing:
“You can’t out-brain my hard work. I’m not even up to 30, but I have properties everywhere in the world. I sold some of my properties in Lagos and bought some in Dubai so I can be earning in foreign currency.”
While some praised his determination and focus, others criticized him for seemingly undermining the value of spirituality and prayer in personal and financial growth.
Ajebo Danny’s remarks have sparked wider conversations about the intersection of faith and hard work, as well as the diverse paths people take to achieve success. Whether you agree or not, his statements have undoubtedly added fuel to the ongoing dialogue about balancing faith, effort, and strategy in achieving one’s goals.
Danny’s comments have sparked a flurry of reactions on social media.

“Can I buy your hair? I’ll pay you millions for it” Donald Trump jokingly makes offer to a black girl (video)
Donald Trump has once again made headlines with his unique charm and controversial persona. While enjoying a golf cart ride at his Mar-a-Lago residence in West Palm Beach, the US President-elect surprised fans with an unexpected and playful remark to a young girl with curly hair.
Trump, captivated by the girl’s hair, joked, “Oh, I love that girl. I love that hair. I want her hair! Can I buy your hair? I’ll pay you millions for that.” The lighthearted exchange took an interesting turn when the girl revealed she had voted for Trump. Clearly amused, he responded, “Wow,” before humorously declaring, “I vote for you,” pointing affectionately toward her.
This cheerful moment comes amidst significant legal developments. Special Counsel Jack Smith announced on Monday that two criminal cases against Trump, concerning his alleged retention of classified documents and attempts to overturn his 2020 election defeat, would be dropped. The decision follows the Justice Department’s policy of granting sitting presidents immunity from criminal prosecution.
Smith’s announcement came after Trump publicly threatened to fire him upon taking office in January. The dropped cases highlight the complexities of pursuing legal action against a sitting president while underscoring Trump’s knack for turning serious headlines into moments of levity.
Whether on the golf course or navigating high-stakes politics, Trump continues to dominate both media and public attention, keeping his supporters engaged and his critics talking.
