Social media critic Daniel Regha has stirred controversy online with his harsh review of Rema’s latest single, “KELEBU.”
In a tweet that has since gone viral, Regha labeled the track as “marketable noise,” arguing that it is only suitable for children’s events such as birthday parties and primary school graduations. He insisted that the song lacks depth for a mature audience or anyone with “great taste in music.”
According to Regha, the song is “lyrically empty,” and the trumpet sound “doesn’t blend with the beat, instead standing out awkwardly.”
However, he acknowledged Rema’s boldness in experimenting with new sounds, calling it “commendable,” but concluded that this attempt was “poor,” especially for an artiste who aspires to be among the best in the industry.
Regha ended his critique with a brutal score of 0.5/10, adding, “No offense.”
The review has sparked mixed reactions across social media, with some users agreeing with his assessment, while others defended Rema, praising his creativity and willingness to push boundaries.
Rema’s “KELEBU” is marketable NOISE; The song is perfect for kids’ events like birthday parties, primary school graduations, etc. But definitely NOT for a matured audience or anyone with great taste in music. Lyrically empty, and the trumpet also doesn’t go well with the beats,…
