Rema, who is signed to Don Jazzy’s Mavin Record label, made the former U.S President’s playlist with his smash single ‘Iron Man’ coming at 42nd spot.
“With summer winding down, here’s a sampling of what Michelle and I have been listening to — some new, some old, some fast, some slow,” Obama tweeted on Saturday evening.
The 19-year-old ‘Dumebi’ crooner has since taken to his Twitter to thank Obama and Michelle for finding his song worth their while.
