Nigerian Afrobeats star Rema has released his latest single, \u201cOH NO,\u201d adding another record to his growing catalogue as he continues his run of international releases.<\/p>\n
The new track brings Rema together with two producers who have played important roles in his musical journey: Rvssian and London. Rema had teased the song ahead of its release, generating anticipation among fans after previewing the record during a recent appearance in New York.<\/p>\n
\u201cOH NO\u201d marks another collaboration between Rema and Rvssian, following their earlier work on \u201cBeamer (Bad Boys)\u201d, one of the standout records from Rema\u2019s early career. The two artists first connected on the 2020 track, which was produced by Rvssian.<\/p>\n
Rema Teases Fans Before the Release<\/p>\n
Before officially releasing \u201cOH NO,\u201d Rema gave fans an early preview of the record, sparking conversations online about the upcoming song.<\/p>\n
The track was also previewed during a recent New York appearance, giving fans in attendance an opportunity to hear the unreleased record before its official arrival on streaming platforms. Reports and social-media posts surrounding the preview identified Rvssian as the producer of the upcoming track.<\/p>\n
The anticipation surrounding the song reflects the level of attention that typically follows new music from Rema, particularly after his rapid rise from one of Nigeria\u2019s breakout stars to one of Afrobeats\u2019 most internationally recognised acts.<\/p>\n
Rvssian and Rema Reunite<\/p>\n
\u201cOH NO\u201d also marks another reunion between Rema and Jamaican producer Rvssian.<\/p>\n
Rvssian previously produced Rema\u2019s \u201cBeamer (Bad Boys)\u201d, released in 2020. The song became one of the early records that helped establish the distinctive sound Rema was developing at the beginning of his career.<\/p>\n
Their latest collaboration comes several years after that first connection, giving the new single an added layer of significance for longtime Rema listeners.<\/p>\n
Rvssian has also built a reputation for working across Afrobeats, dancehall, hip-hop and international pop, making the producer a natural collaborator for Rema\u2019s genre-blending approach.<\/p>\n
London Returns to the Production<\/p>\n
Another familiar name attached to \u201cOH NO\u201d is London, one of Rema\u2019s most important longtime collaborators.<\/p>\n
London has been involved in several key moments throughout Rema\u2019s career, including the singer\u2019s breakthrough era and major records such as \u201cSoundgasm\u201d and \u201cCalm Down.\u201d He was also part of the production team behind Rema\u2019s 2024 album HEIS.<\/p>\n
The producer\u2019s history with Rema stretches back to the early stages of the singer\u2019s career, making their continued collaboration an important part of Rema\u2019s evolving sound.<\/p>\n
London was also involved in the production of \u201cBout U,\u201d Rema\u2019s 2025 single, further demonstrating the longstanding creative relationship between the pair.<\/p>\n
Building on Rema\u2019s Global Run<\/p>\n
The release of \u201cOH NO\u201d comes as Rema continues to build on one of the most successful international runs by a Nigerian artist of his generation.<\/p>\n
His global breakthrough was accelerated by \u201cCalm Down,\u201d which became a worldwide phenomenon following the release of its remix with Selena Gomez.<\/p>\n
The song reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became one of the biggest Afrobeats crossover records ever released. Its official music video eventually surpassed one billion views on YouTube, adding another major achievement to Rema\u2019s catalogue.<\/p>\n
However, Rema\u2019s catalogue extends well beyond \u201cCalm Down.\u201d Records including \u201cDumebi,\u201d \u201cIron Man,\u201d \u201cSoundgasm,\u201d \u201cWoman,\u201d \u201cBounce,\u201d \u201cOzeba\u201d and \u201cBout U\u201d have helped establish his identity as one of Afrobeats\u2019 most distinctive young artists.<\/p>\n
A New Chapter After<\/p>\n
HEIS<\/p>\n
\u201cOH NO\u201d follows Rema\u2019s 2024 album HEIS, a project that represented a more aggressive and experimental chapter in his artistic development.<\/p>\n
The album included songs such as \u201cBenin Boys,\u201d \u201cOzeba,\u201d \u201cHehehe\u201d and \u201cRed Potion,\u201d while continuing Rema\u2019s push toward a sound he has described through his Afrorave identity.<\/p>\n
London was among the producers involved in HEIS, including on \u201cOzeba.\u201d<\/p>\n
Since then, Rema has continued releasing music and expanding his global presence, making each new single part of a broader progression rather than simply a standalone release.<\/p>\n
What \u201cOH NO\u201d Means for Rema\u2019s Next Move<\/p>\n
With \u201cOH NO,\u201d Rema continues to demonstrate his willingness to work with producers from different musical backgrounds while maintaining the creative relationships that have been important to his career.<\/p>\n
The combination of Rema, Rvssian and London brings together three artists with established connections to Afrobeats and global music, making the release one of the more notable Nigerian singles arriving in September 2026.<\/p>\n
For Rema, the song provides another opportunity to keep his momentum going while reaching audiences that have followed his music from his early Jonzing World releases through his international breakthrough.<\/p>\n
As listeners continue to discover \u201cOH NO,\u201d attention will also remain on what Rema has planned for the next stage of his career.<\/p>\n
With a catalogue that has already produced billion-view videos, major international collaborations and global chart success, the Nigerian star enters another release cycle with considerable expectations.<\/p>\n
