Nigerian singer Divine Ikubor, popularly known as Rema, has addressed one of the wildest rumours he has encountered online; being labeled a “devil worshipper.”
In an interview on the ‘Kids Take Over’ podcast, the Afrobeats singer behind the global hit “Calm Down” was asked about the most outlandish falsehood he has seen about himself.
“They say I worship the devil,” Rema said with a laugh. “It’s crazy. I didn’t respond because it’s not important. It’s a waste of time.”
The singer, known for incorporating cultural symbols into his art, clarified that the imagery some have misinterpreted stems from his Edo heritage and is not related to anything satanic.
Rema also revealed about his collaboration with Canadian music icon Drake in 2020, which resulted in a song titled Mention Me that was unfortunately leaked before its official release.
“I’m happy to work with a legend like Drake,” Rema said. “I feel like we are going to make a very huge song if we take our time to build something strong.”
