Rema Addresses Shocking Rumours of Blood-Drinking and Devil Worship
Nigerian Afrobeats sensation Divine “Rema” Ikubor has opened up about some of the wildest rumors he has encountered about himself online, including allegations of being part of the Illuminati, worshipping the devil, and drinking blood.
In an interview with Rolling Stone, the Grammy-nominated singer expressed frustration over how easily people believe baseless stories on the internet.
“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 said.
The “Calm Down” hitmaker also shared the personal significance behind the pendants he wears, explaining that they are a tribute to his late father and brother.
“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 sh*t is happening, I always remind myself, ‘Know the struggles you came from,’ because, for real, people be forgetting,” he stated.
Despite the bizarre rumors, Rema continues to solidify his place as one of Nigeria’s biggest music exports on the global stage.
