Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Rema has publicly given credit and shout-outs to Ghanaian hiplife artist Patapaa.

The recognition, which has set social media buzzing in Ghana and Nigeria, confirms the growing influence of Patapaa, born Justice Amoah, beyond Ghana’s borders.

While it is not a formal corporate endorsement, Rema has openly acknowledged Patapaa’s influence on his music in recent weeks.

According to reports circulating online, the Calm Down hitmaker revealed that a new unreleased song he is working on in November 2026 was inspired by Patapaa.

A short clip making rounds on Facebook, shared by George M. Britton just 4 hours ago, is titled Rema’s new song inspired by Justice Patapaa Amoah.

In the video, Rema is heard referencing Patapaa’s style and energy, a moment fans have described as a full-circle moment for Ghanaian music.

Patapaa rose to fame in 2017 with his viral hit One Corner, a song that sparked a global dance craze and put Ghanaian hiplife on the world map.

Years later, his sound continues to inspire a new generation of Afrobeats stars, including one of the biggest names in the genre today.

Fans in Ghana have celebrated the shout-out as long-overdue recognition for Patapaa, who many believe has not received enough credit for his contribution to African music.

For Rema, who has consistently spoken about his love for Ghanaian culture, the tribute further strengthens the musical bond between Ghana and Nigeria.

Neither artist has yet announced a collaboration, but fans are already calling for a Rema and Patapaa record.
