Daniel Regha has approved that Asake surpasses Rema as an artist, citing Asake’s superior lyrical prowess.

Regha argued that Asake’s lyrical content outshines Rema’s, asserting that Rema’s success is largely attributed to the influence of his record label boss, Don Jazzy.

Rega went on to claim that a significant portion of Rema’s songs consists of “recycled lyrics.” Despite expressing his viewpoint, Regha clarified that his intention was not to throw shade.

He stated, “Asake is a bigger artiste than Rema, but Rema gets better PR thanks to Don Jazzy’s influence & that of Mavin Records.

Lyrically speaking Asake has more meaningful songs; Rema 99% of the time recycles lyrics. The only thing they have in common is that both are still upcomers, that’s all. No shades.”

This critique arises amid Rema’s recent accomplishment of selling out London’s 02 Arena, a 20,000-capacity venue.
