Selena Gomez, an American singer and actress, has disclosed that she was a fan of Nigerian Afrobeats star Rema prior to their collaboration on the ‘Calm Down’ remix.
She stated that she fell in love with ‘Runaway’ by Rema before the ‘Rave Lorde’ contacted her for a remix of ‘Calm Down‘.
Gomez stated that she welcomed Rema’s idea because she adores his demeanor, emphasizing that she “just wants to take care of him.”
This was revealed by the 32-year-old music sensation on the most recent episode of the VA 100 New York Podcast.
She said, “I actually fell in love with the song ‘Runaway’ before I fell in love with ‘Calm down.’ I literally was a fan of his. But it [remixing ‘Calm Down’] was all like kind of his idea.
“When I met him, I honestly was so impressed by his demeanor, how humble and how grateful he is for every moment. And, I just couldn’t pick someone else who deserves all this success in the world. He is so kind. I don’t know, I just wanna like take care of him [laughs].”
