Raja Kumari wins an AMA
In an interview with PTI prior to the awards ceremony, Raja Kumari said that she was the first Indian origin musician to be nominated for an AMA. Renegade (We Never Run) from Arcane League of Legends is a collaboration between Raja Kumari, UK hip-hop artist Stefflon Don and Dominican-Brazilian artist Jarina de Marco. The artists were nominated under the Favourite Soundtrack category.
Raja told PTI that the song was really special for her. She said, “Stefflon (Don) and I kind of share the Sidhu (Moose Wala) connection. She has a song with Sidhu, too. And when I was meeting Sidhu during the time that we were collaborating, he had played me the song. So, I've always had this soft spot in my heart for her because we both kind of share this gentle giant.”
She was approached for the song because the character in the film is Indian. “They (Arcane team) had heard about me as being representative of our culture and being able to make aggressive music as a woman,” added Raja.
