Rema
Divine Ikubor, known in the music world as Rema, a rising star in the Nigerian Afrobeats scene, has spoken out against claims that he has compromised his soul for fame.
In a recent interview, he addressed his journey in music and the dedication it took to achieve his present success. The conversation touched on the swirling rumors regarding his alleged connections with the Illuminati.
At a recent sold-out concert at the O2 Arena, Rema’s performance, highlighted by vibrant red elements reflecting Benin culture, led to unease among some Christian viewers, prompting speculation about darker intentions behind his artistry.
Without prior clarification from Rema, the performance was linked by some to malevolent influences, giving rise to accusations that he had made pacts for fame and wealth.
When asked about the most unexpected rumors he encountered, Rema identified the Illuminati allegations as particularly shocking. He noted how such theories have gained traction, clarifying that his intention was merely to honor his Edo roots and express his artistic vision.
Rema elaborated on the significance of various symbols he incorporates in his performances and music videos, underscoring that his priority is creativity and cultural representation, rather than any hidden motives.
The public in Nigeria has reacted vigorously to these developments, with many sharing their perspectives on the matter.
Despite the controversies that have accompanied his rise to celebrity status, Rema remains steadfast in his artistic beliefs and vision.
