American singer Selena Gomez recently expressed her heartfelt appreciation to Nigerian artist Rema for the impact he has had on her life. The two artists collaborated on the hit song “Calm Down,” and Selena took to social media to share a lovely photo of the duo during the video shoot, accompanied by a heartfelt caption.
In her Instagram post, Selena wrote, “This man has changed my life forever. Rema, thank you for choosing me to be part of one of the biggest songs in the world. Love you forever.” The gesture touched the hearts of fans worldwide, who eagerly chimed in with their thoughts.
Controversy Arises as Fans Debate Selena Gomez’s Appreciation of Rema’s Impact
However, the acknowledgment from Selena Gomez, who boasts a staggering 425 million followers on Instagram, sparked some debate among fans. Some argued that it was Rema who should be thanking Selena for the collaboration, given her massive following on the platform. With only 5.5 million Instagram followers, Rema’s fanbase pales in comparison.
The comment section of Selena’s post became a battleground of opinions, with conflicting views on who should be grateful to whom. Some fans insisted that Selena had been instrumental in propelling the song’s success, while others urged a more balanced perspective.

Amidst the mixed reactions, one Instagram user commented, “Nah, you are the one who changed his damn life.” Another added, “You changed his life.” Yet another chimed in, “Calm down, babe. You changed his life; he didn’t change yours.”
In the midst of the debate, one fan expressed disappointment in the negativity surrounding the discussion, particularly within the context of racial dynamics. They wrote, “The comment section made me dislike humanity this time. This race called the white race is a disgrace, believe me. I’m white, but why all this selfishness? Nigeria has the majority of internationally known singers now. She knew what the song did in her life, and she appreciated that. Can we all stop and be happy for them both? Rema can choose anyone to work with, but he chose Selena Gomez, and that’s why she’s happy and appreciates him. Please, let’s all respect her decision. I’m disappointed in my race.”

Others joined in, emphasizing the importance of recognizing Rema’s success before Selena’s involvement. They stated, “People talking shit like Selena, you’re the reason the song blew up; y’all got to stop saying shit. The song ‘Calm Down’ by Rema had blown up worldwide before Selena jumped on the remix. I love Selena for appreciating and recognizing that Rema changed her life with that song. She knew that the song was already a worldwide sensation before she jumped on the remix. So, y’all should get your facts right.”
