Canadian entertainer, Drake has revealed he is working on a song with Nigerian singer, Rema.
Drake revealed this on Monday during a live session on Instagram.
During the Instagram live session, the Canadian played several songs, one of which was ‘Dumebi’ by Rema.
While playing the song, Drake declared, “Big up Rema too. We have a sick song together…”
He then continued playing the song.
The release date for the song is not known.
Rema, however, has been garnering international attention since signing to Don Jazzy’s Mavin Records.
He released his eponymous debut EP Rema in 2019. It peaked at number 1 on Apple Music Nigeria.
On 19 October 2019, Rema won Next Rated and was nominated for Viewer’s Choice at the 13th edition of The Headies. On 12 January 2020 he received the Souncity mvp for best new artist.
The ‘Bad Commando’ crooner recently noted in an interview that the loss of his dad and his brother brought an untold burden on him to cater for his mother.
He stated that he had to summon courage to brace the odds by taking up different jobs, including working at a beach in Ghana just to raise money.
“I had to work hard because I lost my father and my brother and things were left only to me. So, I had to put things in place. I did a lots of job like working at a beach in Ghana.
“Hard work got me this shape. At first, it was really hard for me, I cried and was really sad. When I got back to Nigeria I had to appreciate my mum for being strong so I had to get her a car.
“I was tired of seeing her trekking everyday. She didn’t even have money to use a public transport or motorcycle. Even though I had no car of my own then, I had to buy my mum a car.”
