“I’m very grateful ” – Rema reacts as Barack Obama includes him in 2022 music playlist

Mavin singer, Divine Ikubor, popularly known as Rema has shown gratitude after a former president of America, Barack Obama, has released his 2022 music playlist, aso Naija reports.

Rema’s hit track, Calm Down, made the cut this year.

“I feel the same way I did in 2019 when I saw my Name on this list, I’m very grateful,” he tweeted on Saturday.

Every year, the former president always shares his favorite playlist in the year.

While American artistes always top his music playlist, the former president is still fond of African music, especially Nigerian music.

Three songs from Nigerian stars – Burna Boy, Rema and Ayra Starr made it to his favourite music of 2022. Obama listed 25 songs as his favourite for the year ending in a few days, and Burna Boy’s Last Last, Ayra’s Rush and Rema’s Calm Down made the list from Nigeria.

The ex-US president revealed his favorite list via his official Twitter page on Saturday, saying he enjoyed sharing the list.

“I always enjoy sharing my end of year music playlist with all of you — and this year we heard a lot of great songs. Here are some of my favorites,” Obama wrote.

I feel the same way I did in 2019 when I saw my Name on this list, I’m very grateful. 🙏🏾❤️ https://t.co/BAQ4tWw9eu
