Daniel Regha rates Rema’s “Baby(Is It Crime?)” 3.5/10, says “it doesn’t have replay value”

Rema’s latest track, “Baby (Is it a Crime),” has ignited a flurry of reactions on the internet, with opinions spanning from high praise to harsh criticism. Social media commentator Daniel Regha sparked the conversation with a critical review, stating, “Rema sounded very much like Wizkid in his new song ‘Baby (Is it a Crime).’ While the song isn’t that great lyrically speaking, the vocals as well as the beats are close to perfection, & Rema is gradually stepping out of his comfort zone which is good. No doubt the song will do numbers thanks to social media buzz, however, its replay value is low as the song literally has no substance. The one thing that stands out in the song is the sampled intro by Sade Adu, that was well-done. It’s a 3.5/10. No offense.”

Regha’s rating has drawn considerable backlash. One fan retorted, “Your own na just to dy complain about people life up and down. Enter studio make we rate you too. 😏 No offense.” Another questioned his objectivity, “vocals and beats are close to perfection but na 3.5 you still rate am, you dey gba.” The perceived inconsistency in his assessment seems to be a major point of contention. Fans also pointed to the song’s popularity, with one saying, “Song wey dey play for my studio repeatedly you dey rate 3.5? You be black jesus!! 😅😭🤲🏽”

While some defended Regha’s right to express his opinion, others simply dismissed his rating, stating, “We no really send your ratings.” The debate underscores the subjective nature of music appreciation/analysis and the diverse opinions a single song can generate. Whether you agree with Regha or not, “Baby (Is it a Crime?)” has undoubtedly captured attention and sparked a lively discussion.
