Nigerian rapper and singer Divine Ikubor, also known as Rema, just released his latest single titled Bout U, a few days shy of his Coachella debut. The singer slowly rose to fame back in 2019 with the release of his "sleeper hit" Dumebi. However, what put him in the international spotlight was his collaboration with Selena Gomez on the song Calm Down. It did so well that it reached number one on the Billboard US Afrobeats Songs and the Billboard Global Excl. US charts.
A few hours ago, the Nigerian singer posted a new photo on his Instagram, backed up with an audio of his latest single. The post included a moving photo of the singer himself holding a cigarette in one hand with smoke billowing, and a black and white electric guitar in the other hand. He simply captioned the post:
"Out 🖤" - @heisrema posted.
Fans were excited in the comments, and one of them wrote:
"World star ✨🔥" - @ipostyoulike027 commented.

The majority of the comments on the Instagram post were positive. Fans congratulated the rapper/singer on his new "banger". Scroll through the comments, and you will see a lot of fire emojis flooding the post.
Have a look at what netizens have to say about Rema's latest song Bout U:
"Chune! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Only a handful of artists in the Nigerian music scene are still committed to crafting quality music. The majority seem to be riding on vibes alone, there's little emphasis on strong songwriting or musical depth these days, Sad." - @mrweli commented.
Fans already know that Bout U is going to be a hit. They commented:
"Another song to run to the ground ! Thank you" @houseofnayy said.
"this point i know the song gonna be on repeat for how long i also don't know😭🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 " - @_khensani.33 added.
"I was listening to the snippet on replay without knowing the full would drop Tonight 🔥🔥🔥 " - @luckybatista_ wrote.
"The world isn’t ready 🔥 " - @misss_kikii chimed in.
Some users have used Rema's own catchphrase to comment on his post. They said:
"Another banger 🔥" - @comedianchicken commented.
Fans are already thinking about ways to use the audio for their video edits. One user wrote:
"Can’t wait to use this song for low exposure videos 😘 " - @tochme_ commented.
