Rema Reflects on Fireboy’s Decline in New-Gen Rankings, Cites Promotion and Global Appreciation



Nigerian music star Rema has commented on the shifting dynamics of the new-generation music scene, reflecting on the career trajectory of fellow artist Fireboy DML.

In a statement released in 2025, Rema noted, “Fireboy and I used to be the hope of the new gen, but how he is no longer in the top 5 new gen, apart from the fact that the world doesn't appreciate good music, Fireboy and his team is lazy in promotion.”

The remarks have sparked discussions online, with fans and industry observers debating the factors that influence an artist’s prominence and longevity in the competitive Nigerian music industry. Rema’s comments point to both the challenges of international recognition and the critical role of promotion in sustaining success.

While Fireboy has had multiple hit songs and awards to his name, Rema’s statement suggests that staying at the top requires consistent marketing efforts and active engagement with fans worldwide. The conversation has reignited debates on talent, visibility, and strategy among Nigeria’s leading new-generation musicians.
