Divine Ikubor, widely known as Rema and a Grammy-nominated Nigerian Afrobeats singer, has shared the most bizarre allegations he has read about himself online.
Rema revealed in an interview with Rolling Stone that he has heard accusations that he worships the devil, drinks blood, and he’s a member of the Illuminati.
Some people believe what they see online, the singer emphasised, adding that these rumours have cost him a significant number of followers.
“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,” he said.
Rema also gave an explanation of his decision to wear pendants in remembrance of his sibling and late father.
“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 sht is happening, I always remind myself, ‘Know the struggles you came from,’ because, for real, people be forgetting.”
