Popular singer, Rema has come out to react to claims that he worships the devil.

He recently had his say via his social media page, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, that rumor is the craziest thing he has seen about himself online, and Nigerians must know that the imagery and colours used in his music videos are simply artistic choices.

Rema added that responding to shocking rumors like that is simply a waste of his time.

His words, “The craziest thing I’ve seen online about me is that I worship the devil; they say I worship the devil.

It’s not important to respond to those claims; I feel like it’s a waste of time. Sometimes it’s just really the colours my team and I use to dominate an image. The rabbid phase was about red and people were just scarred about red and I’m like, ‘Yo, it’s red.’ If you see a beautiful lady in a red dress, you won’t call her the devil, so why are you calling me the devil?”

WOW.
