Flaunt Weeekly
Nigerian music star, Divine Ikubor, aka Rema, has become the first African artist to be featured on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine, an American monthly publication covering music, politics, and popular culture.
According to Rolling Stone, the Afrobeats icon known for breaking boundaries on the global stage, is the Cover Star for April edition of the prestigious magazine.
Mavi Records praised the uncommon feat with a post on its official Instagram page:“Rave Lordé Rema the Afrobeats Visionary, makes history as @Rollingstone USA First African Cover Star!”
Following the recognition, the ‘Heis’ crooner thrilled audiences with an electrifying performance at the Rolling Stone concert, performing some of his hit songs, including ‘Dumebi’, ‘Woman’ and ‘Calm Down’.
This milestone has further cemented Rema’s place as a trailblazer for African music, as this feat is coming shortly after he was highlighted on the cover of Dazed Magazine, another major international platform.
