In the time since Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Rema dropped off 2022’s Rave & Roses, he experienced both the most staggering heights of crossover success and the vilest parts of the demonization of his culture in one fell swoop.  

Related

In 2023, “Calm Down” reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and spent a record-setting 58 weeks atop U.S. Afrobeats Songs. The infectious, Selena Gomez-assisted track also reached No. 1 on the all-genre Radio Songs chart, making history for a song by an African lead artist. Then came his sold-out headlining performance at London’s O2 Arena later that year (Nov. 14, 2023), which sparked accusations of Satanism due to the imagery – in actuality, they were hallmarks of the Edo culture of his hometown of Benin City, Nigeria – employed during the show. 

These two things – genuinely peerless success and the tension that lies in bringing hyperlocal culture to a global scale – are the driving forces behind Rema’s impressively daring and unequivocally infectious sophomore LP, Heis

Bearing a title that simultaneously calls to his Instagram handle (@heisrema), the Greek word for the number “one,” and the simplest proclamation of being, Heis finds Rema staunchly on the defensive. Gone are the sugary slow-wine tempos of Rave & Roses; here, Rema conjures up soundscapes – courtesy of an all-star production team that includes Producer X, Take a Daytrip and longtime collaborator London – that thrive in the darkness. Pounding, frenetic drums open the album, ultimately becoming the record’s anchor. Occasionally a tinny synth or a particularly piercing string arrangement will cut through the wall of sound, but the rollicking, militant drums are the dominant source of energy on Heis. And it makes sense: The drum – with all of its history and percussiveness – is the instrument the best symbolizes the Rema of Heis.

Across the LP, Rema reclaims the “Satanist” narrative by doubling-down on the sounds and voice changes that first garnered those accusations. When he warps his voice into an obsidian baritone on “Ozeba” (“Emi ati awon guys e mi italawo, e mi itolowo/ Italawa, itolowo, ita, itolow, eh-eh”), it’s somehow both bone-chilling and tongue-in-cheek. He refuses to let go of his hometown’s history and culture despite being a global superstar; it’s an emphasis on regionality that mirrors similar conversations has across Black American music this year, from Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter to Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us.” “Everyone is chasing something that the whole world can enjoy… we’re listening to the voices of the world too much,” he said in a recent Apple Music interview. “We gotta listen to the voices back home to keep our roots. Our roots [are] very important.” 

But the Rema of Heis also has an unmistakable chip on his shoulder. As hip-hop grappled with the standing of its Big 3 (Kendrick Lamar, Drake and J. Cole) this spring, Rema uses Heis to demand a spot in the conversation as it relates to Afrobeats. He’s already expressed his desire to expand the existing Afrobeats Big 3 (commonly understood to consist of Burna Boy, Davido and Wizkid) to a “Big 4,” and now he spends most of Heis demanding the No. 1 spot. 

“March Am” opens the record with Rema’s trademark sinister laugh ushering in a high-octane drum pattern that soundtracks his bellicose calls to keep pushing forward. One of the most effective album openers of the year, “March Am” immediately establishes pidgin English as the album’s dominant tongue. “17, I dey dagbo, I dey crack code/ Now the prince of Afro,” he snarls in the first verse, before sing-chanting the “I dey march am” chorus against some stirring background strings. Taking notes from the painstaking worldbuilding of Playboi Carti, Rema’s vision of Afrorave is completely contingent on the blistering, unfettered energy that comes from people collectively giving their bodies over to the power of music. Heis begs to be experienced in a live setting; it’s as if Rema conceived the live version of each song before he even set foot in the studio. It’s dark and raucous and distinctly liberating; at long last, Rema has brought to life the “Afrorave” style that he’s long heralded, despite an initial lack of sonic identifiers.

The only instrument as effective as the drums on Heis is Rema’s voice. Across the LP, the singer dives into the depths of his range, spending ample time in his icy baritone. Not only do his different vocal registers evoke different characters in his narrative — of recentering yourself after stepping into a new era of life — they also reveal Rema’s artistic maturation. Each shift in vocal delivery adds new textures to the 2010s Afrobeats-nodding instrumentation; instead of simply delivering lyrics, he morphs into his own instrument and weaves himself into every chord. 

Pre-release singles “Hehehe” and “Benin Boys” (with Shallipopi) play even better in the context of the full album. The former finds Rema temporarily playing to the villain role to mock his haters, while the latter reads as a celebration of Benin culture from two homegrown stars, who seek to uplift and protect it from those who ignorantly demonize it. Sandwiched between those two tracks is “Yayo,” perhaps the record’s most accessible song – and the one Rave & Roses fans will likely find most appealing, with its catchy melody and grind culture-affirming lyrics (“Money yakpa for my bank oh/ How to make money is all I know”) 

At just under half an hour, Heis never overstays its welcome, but that doesn’t mean Rema completely avoids repeating himself. While having a chip on your shoulder can bolster your assertiveness, it often gives way to defensiveness on the album’s back half – and that’s where its cracks start to show. The title track – which features a Swahili chorus that basically lauds Rema as the hottest thing to ever touch Planet Earth – feels particularly excessive because he’s already covered the same lyrical ground elsewhere on the album. There’s also “Villain,” the album’s penultimate track, in which he croons, “I dey hustle since people dey laugh me/ The way I dey run my things, I do it differently, now dem dey copy me.” But by track 10, these sentiments feel stale, if not overbearing. 

In its entirety, Heis is a captivating album; one that inspires countless listens because of how its intricate production reveals new elements with each encounter. With the album’s closer, “Now I Know,” Rema wraps everything up quite cleanly, offering new perspectives to the darkness that subsumes the record with one soulful ballad. “I dey move like Messi when he dey for Barcelo/ E get as God go bless person, dem go talk say na devil oh,” he opens the second verse, before proclaiming “And now I know who dey for me/ All thosе I trust turned enemiеs” in the chorus.  

After dousing himself in an amalgamation of edgy aesthetics to further cement his Afrorave style, Rema, in a way, becomes human again on this album closer. His plaintive tone reflects the maturation he’s undergone in the past two years, while also calling back to the timbre he most often used on his debut LP. He’s still the same Rema, but he’s demanding a different level of respect – not just because of his superstar status, but because of his steadfast commitment to uplifting his culture and bringing it along with him at any cost. 

If you fell in love with Rema off the strength of his sweet crossover pop moments, his latest album probably isn’t for you. But if you’re willing to be led down a journey of self-discovery and style formation, Heis is the map for that odyssey.

Murder Inc. Records co-founder Irv Gotti has been sued for sexual assault and rape by a woman who claims she was in a relationship with the mogul from 2020 to 2022.

Filed on Thursday (July 11) in Miami-Dade County Circuit Court by attorney Adriana Alcalde, an anonymous Jane Doe accuser claims that Gotti — real name Irving Domingo Lorenzo Jr. — raped her on numerous occasions in Atlanta, Miami and the Caribbean island of Saint Martin during their relationship after meeting through a mutual friend at a poker tournament in the summer of 2020.

The woman alleges that Gotti coerced her into having sex with him after flying her out to Saint Martin for a vacation following their initial meeting and threatened to send her home if she did not comply with this request. She subsequently embarked on a relationship with him, throughout which she claims to have suffered repeated abuse at his hands.

In one alleged instance, the woman claims Gotti flew her to Miami in January 2022 and forced her to perform oral sex on him in an elevator of the Four Seasons Hotel. She says a similar incident occurred in the summer of that same year when she says Gotti coerced her into giving him oral sex during an Uber ride in Atlanta. Per the lawsuit, the couple’s relationship came to an end following the latter trip.

“As a result of this sexually abusive relationship, Plaintiff has suffered severe emotional and psychological harm for which she had to be committed to a psychiatric ward,” the suit reads. “These injuries continue and affect Plaintiff to this day.”

The woman further claims that Gotti has been “slandering” her name, thereby impacting her reputation around Los Angeles. She’s seeking compensatory damages and any legal expenses involved in bringing the suit.

Billboard has reached out to Gotti’s reps for comment.

Gotti rose to fame in the late ’90s after co-founding Murder Inc. Records under Def Jam. In addition to his prowess as an executive, Gotti earned production credits working with DMX, Ja Rule, Ashanti, Jennifer Lopez, Lloyd and more. He was also billed as an artist on the 2002 track “Down 4 U” with Ja Rule, Ashanti, Charli Baltimore and Vita off the album Irv Gotti Presents: The Inc. The track peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 and spent 20 weeks on the chart.

In 2022, Gotti told Billboard he sold a 50% ownership stake in Murder Inc.’s past music recordings to Olivier Chastan’s music rights and brand management company Iconoclast. He said the deal was worth $100 million and allowed him to retain ownership of the company.

It’s taken nearly 28 years for Los Ángeles Azules to score a No. 1 on Billboard’s Latin Airplay chart, but the group’s winning week finally arrives as “Perdonarte Para Qué?” — their collab with Emilia — vaults 15-1 in its fifth week on the chart (dated July 20).

The Mexican cumbia, released May 23 via Promotodo/Virgin Music Latin, ascends to the summit on the overall Latin Airplay chart with 8.1 million audience impressions, up 69%, earned across U.S. reporting radio stations during the July 5-11 tracking week, according to Luminate. A pair of Univision stations lead the charge among all reporting stations for the most audience gains, starting with WOJO-FM in Chicago, while KLQB-FM in Austin comes in second.

The new No. 1 unseats Grupo Firme’s “El Beneficio De La Duda,” which dips 1-4 despite a 1% gain in audience to 6.2 million.

With “Perdonarte ¿Para Qué?” both Los Ángeles Azules and Emilia score a career milestone on the overall Latin Airplay tally, checking into the penthouse for the first time.

Among their nine-career top 10s, Los Ángeles Azules managed a No. 3 best through “Nunca Es Suficiente,” featuring Natalia Lafourcade, in February 2019. Plus, the Mexicans achieved another top 10 in 2024: the No. 5 high “La Cumbia Triste,” their first partnership with Alejandro Fernández. (The group premiered on Latin Airplay in December 1996 with “Come Te Voy a Olvidar,” which peaked at No. 7 the following February.)

Emilia also celebrates her first champ on her second try, after the Argentinian pop artist reached a No. 26 high with “La_Original.mp3” alongside Tini, in April. With the new champ, Emilia becomes the first Argentinian woman to land atop Latin Airplay since Maria Becerra took the throne for one week with “Te Espero” with Prince Royce in June 2022. Since then, another Argentinian has seized the crown: Bizarrap, through two “Bzrp Music Sessions” — Vol. 52 with Quevedo and Vol. 53 with Shakira — in November 2022 and February 2023, respectively.

Beyond its Latin Airplay coronation, “Perdonarte ¿Para Qué?” gifts Los Ángeles Azules its fifth No. 1 on Regional Mexican Airplay where the song pushes 8-1 with the Greatest Gainer honors, awarded weekly to the song with the largest gain in audience impressions.

Plus, Emilia joins two other pop artists who have achieved their maiden No. 1 on the Mexican radio ranking in 2024: Shakira with her Grupo Frontera collab “(Entre Parentesis)” (May 18-dated list) and Becky G through “Por El Contrario,” her Leonardo Aguilar and Angela Aguilar team-up (March 9).

Thanks to its strong radio pull, “Perdonarte ¿Para Qué?” debuts at No. 35 on the airplay-digital sales- and streaming-blended Hot Latin Songs chart, for Emilia’s first chart appearance. Meanwhile, the siblings’ group secures its highest debut since “El Listón De Tu Pelo” in 1999 (No. 32 start, No. 4 high in 2000).

The Biden-Harris campaign is speaking out following Amber Rose’s support for Donald Trump during her speech at the Republican National Convention on Monday night (July 15).

“Amber Rose is right about one thing: research is important. Since we’re talking about facts, we brought receipts: Rose said American families were better off when Trump was president – and if she’s talking about his billionaire donors, she’s right,” the campaign’s senior spokesperson Sarafina Chitika told Variety. “But for Black communities, it’s the opposite story: Black unemployment, Black uninsured rates, and crime rates skyrocketed under Trump’s leadership, because the truth is simple – Donald Trump doesn’t care about us, our lives, or our livelihoods.”

She concluded, “A vote for Donald Trump is a vote to line the pockets of millionaires like Rose at the expense of actual Black communities, and those are the facts.”

In her speech, Rose alleged that the media misguided her views about Trump. “[I] care about the truth, and the truth is that the media has lied to us about Donald Trump. I know this because for a long time I believed those lies,” the 40-year-old model said. “I realized Donald Trump and his supporters don’t care if you’re Black, white, gay or straight. It’s all love. And that’s when it hit me: These are my people. This is where I belong.”

She concluded, “When you cut through the lies, you realize the truth: American families were better when Donald Trump was president. We were safer, wealthier, and stronger.”

Rose went public with her support of Trump in May when posting a photo to social media alongside the former president and his wife, Melania. Back in 2016, Rose called Trump a “f—king idiot” in an interview with The Cut.

Fender has been impressing musicians with high-end instruments for decades, but this year marks a commemorative milestone for the musical instrument brand, with 2024 being the 70th anniversary of the Stratocaster, which has graced the hands of legendary guitarists including Jimi Hendrix, John Mayer and Eric Clapton (just to name a few).

To celebrate the iconic guitar, Fender is now letting you take the luxurious instrument on the go, in sunglasses form, with new collaboration with California sunglasses brand, Knockaround, that offers a limited-edition capsule collection of eyewear modeled after the Stratocaster.

There are two frame styles to choose from: black or teal, and both have guitar handle patterned ear pieces. Collectors will also appreciate the carrying bag that’s included, which features a guitar amp graphic.

Fender is no stranger to creating limited-edition designs of the Stratocaster with other brands and musicians.

Steve Lacy is another artist who teamed up with the well-known and beloved brand to create his own take on the guitar, expanding the growing collaborations.
