Nigerian Superstar Rema Drops Hot New Collaboration ‘Benin Boys’ with Shallipopi

Nigerian music sensation Rema, known for his chart-topping hit ‘Calm Down‘ featuring Tems, has kicked off a new era in his career with the release of a scorching new collaboration titled ‘Benin Boys’ alongside rising star Shallipopi.

The Billboard Music Award-winning artist dropped this much-anticipated track on Thursday, showcasing his lyrical prowess alongside Shallipopi as they flaunt their wealth and status as two of the industry’s most prominent young talents.

Accompanied by a visually stunning music video directed by DK, the duo is seen in various settings like a vibrant neon-lit nightclub, a luxurious private jet, and what appears to be a scenic church rooftop.

Establishing his dominance in the music scene, Rema recently snagged two accolades at the ASCAP London Music Awards, securing Song of the Year and Top Streaming Song for his smash hit ‘Calm Down’, which enjoyed an extended reign on the charts.

Last year, ‘Calm Down’ soared to the top of the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart, holding the record for an astounding 58 weeks while also reaching the pinnacle of the all-genre Radio Songs chart—an unprecedented milestone for an African artist.

Following the success of his debut album ‘Rave & Roses’, which peaked at No. 81 on the Billboard 200 and claimed the No. 2 spot on the World Albums chart, Rema has been actively collaborating with fellow artists in the industry.

‘Benin Boys’ marks the inaugural release for Rema as a newly-signed Interscope Records artist through the label’s strategic partnership with Mavin Global, solidifying his position as a powerhouse in the global music scene.

With fans eagerly tuning in to the fresh sounds from this young Nigerian star, ‘Benin Boys’ sets the stage for a promising chapter in Rema’s musical journey.
