Afrobeat star, Rema and Selena Gomez shook the stage and left with the sought after Best Afrobeats award at this year's MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs).
The team had proactively surprised the music world with 'Calm Down,' earning nominations in three renowned categories: Best Collaboration, Song of the Year, and Best Afrobeats.
However, it was in the Best Afrobeats category that they etched their names in the history books, becoming the first-ever winners in this newly introduced category. They confronted extreme rivalry from fellow artists, including Burna Boy, Davido feat Musa Key, Ayra Starr, Libianca, Wizkid feat Ayrra Starr, and Fireboy DML.
'Rema's 'Calm Down' at first dropped on August 25, 2022, and immediately gathered attention for its splendid mix of Afrobeats and pop elements. The remix of the track made waves of its own, becoming the first song to maintain a year-long position on the Billboard US Afrobeats Songs chart.
This momentous accomplishment is a demonstration of Rema and Selena Gomez's unprecedented musical talents and the worldwide allure of 'Calm Down.' It's a night they will probably remember forever! #MTVVMAs #CalmDownWinners
