Grammy-nominated Nigerian Afrobeats star, Divine Ikubor, popularly known as Rema, has revealed the weirdest rumours he has heard about himself on the internet.
In an interview with Rolling Stone, Rema disclosed that he has heard rumours about being part of the Illuminati, worshipping the devil, and drinking blood.
The singer noted that these rumours have caused him to lose a considerable number of fans, stressing that some people believe whatever they see online. He said:
“Random stories have been made up about me being Illuminati, worshipping the devil, and drinking blood. I definitely lose some fans who just believe anything they see.”
Rema also explained why he wears pendants in memory of his late father and brother. He added:
“It was just a dark moment that changed my life, so I always wear this chain—mostly because I never want to forget. While any craziness or any fantastic shit is happening, I always remind myself, ‘Know the struggles you came from,’ because, for real, people be forgetting.”
The singer then revealed that he is not open to having children out of wedlock. Disclosing that he doesn’t abhor promiscuity, the Ozeba crooner stressed that he’s an intentional man.
Rema who made history as the first Black African star to cover Rolling Stone magazine shared:
“I feel like there’s a need for us [family] to get bigger and become a whole empire if we can. And then neither do I want to wait for it to become a mistake before I decide to be a father. I’m very particular and I don’t really be hoeing around.”
Rema also spoke about his relationship with Ayra Starr and South African Tyla. He said
“Ayra’s family, for sure. Tyla’s family. We’re good friends because I’ve been friends with Tyla even before everything.”
