Be it Afro rave or whatever, last last na Afrobeat - Rema says

The Calm Down crooner noted that when he attends award shows like the Headies, he doesn't go because of the plaque or the gong but to support the Afrobeat culture and institutions.

Rema noted that no matter what genre or style of music one calls it, as long as an artist is Nigerian, they would still have to compete under the Afrobeats banner.

"Be it Afro-rave, this or that, whatever you name it las last Na Afrobeat awards all of us go jam." Rema said
