Mavin Records artiste Rema has revealed that he got the lyrics of his songs from the hood in Benin. Rema had his music criticised on Twitter, but he always has the right answers for critics and trolls alike.
According to a Twitter user, Rema is misleading foreigners with his meaningless lyrics on his song “Lady”, making it seem like the words he strung together were gotten from a Nigerian language.
See the tweet below:
Oyibo will hear Rema say “Achukwuleke make you give me kpalansi scatter your Baka..” and assume it’s Nigerian language. Pls it’s not in Jesus name, amen!

Rema in his response educated this Twitter user on how he gets the lyrics of his songs.
I learnt all these slangs from my hood in Benin city, they all actually have meaning. I create my sounds freely, I can not limit my creativity because of “what people will think” I’m confident in my vibe, accept it. Thank you 🙏🏾 https://t.co/7bluQyO9fw
