By Taiwo Okanlawon

Nigerian singer, Divine Ikubor, popularly known as Rema, has revealed the craziest rumour he has seen online about himself.

The ‘Benin Boys’ hitmaker said being tagged “a devil worshiper” was the craziest rumour ever peddled against him.

Rema featured in a recent episode of the ‘Kids Take Over’ podcast.

The host asked: “What’s the most crazy, untrue thing that you’ve seen online about you?”

Rema replied: “They say worship the devil [laughs]. It’s crazy. I didn’t respond to it because it is not important. It’s a waste of time.”

The singer explained that the symbols he used in expressing his art were Edo culture and not satanic.

Rema also spoke about working with Canadian superstar, Drake in 2020 for his song ‘Mention Me’ which got leaked.

“I’m happy to work with a legend like Drake. I feel like we are going to make a very huge song if we take our time to build something very strong,” he said.

Rema, is from Benin City and has been a proud ambassador of Edo State, promoting the state and legacy of the ancient Benin empire in his music and concerts.

His latest hit song ‘Benin Boys’ which featured fellow Edo-born star, Shallipopi, is a tribute to the city of Benin.
