A Lot Of Nigerians Are Giving Up Nowadays – Rema

Popular singer, Rema has come out to speak about the effects of some rumours that have been spreading about him online.

He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, rumors about him joining Illuminati, worshipping the devil and even drinking blood are completely baseless, but many of these unfounded claims have affected his fanbase because some of his fans believe the rumours to be true.

Rema added that it is sad to see how a lot of Nigerians are giving up in the country nowadays, but he’ll keep up hope.

His words, “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.

The accessories I wear serve as a tribute to my late father and brother. They referece 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 shit is happening, I always remind myself, ‘Know the struggles you came from,’ because, for real, people be forgetting. ”

On Nigeria, “A lot of people are giving up in Nigeria. A lot of people are angry at Nigeria. But I keep hope. There’s not a lot of people who would carry Afrobeats like this so much, carry culture.

It makes me look like a blabber. It makes me look like I talk too much, or care too much, or I’m trying to be a f**ing messiah. I don’t want to do much. I just want to do what I need to do.”

WOW.
