Award-winning singer Rema has revealed the inspiration behind his hit song “Hehehe”.

He said it is a response to his critics who have been on his matter since his industry breakout.

Rema has faced criticism since entering the Nigerian music scene, but he’s turned that into motivation, using it to fuel his creativity.

He said in an interview: “The haters inspired ‘Hehehe’. Day in, day out, people are talking about me, but y’know, I’m stacking up every second. It’s time to do better with your time. People have been hating one me since I dropped my first tape at 19.

” I’ve been criticized a lot. I would say I’ve not been babysitted at all. I’ve been poked for years and if no one got my heart, they will literally cry. I feel like over time, even with my phases, the game kinda made me colder and colder. I came with a loving heart. I spread so much love. But sometimes you just want to give back that energy, and just pop out.”

Rema’s unique approach to music has made him one of the hottest Afrobeat artists with historic achievements like being the first Nigerian singer to reach 1 billion streams on a single track on Spotify.
