Afrobeats singer, Divine Ikubor, popularly known as Rema, has addressed rumours of a feud between him and fellow Nigerian music star Davido.

Addressing the speculation, Rema said, “Davido and I have no issues; those are just rumours. I have so much respect for the OGs.”
The singer also explained that he previously tried to discourage his fans from participating in online fan wars involving other artistes.
According to Rema, such comparisons can become difficult to control when supporters of different artistes continue to fuel them online.
He said, “Fans are always the ones starting things. I used to caution my fans, but sometimes the other artiste enjoys the comparisons and doesn’t do the same, so I stopped.”

Rema and Davido have both built successful careers in Afrobeats, with their music reaching audiences in Nigeria and internationally.
For now, Rema’s latest comments have put his position on the reported feud rumours on record, making clear that he does not consider himself to be in conflict with Davido.
