He recently had his say via his social media page, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he can only urge his fans to disregard the false claim because the bat emojis he uses now is something closely linked to his heritage.
Rema added that people should allow him grow in peace because his execution will evolve unapologetically.
His words, “Day 1 Ravers, help me educate the new Ravers that I have been on this bat shit for a long time. You all would have so much clarity if you easily Google where Iām from, what the key colors of my heritage are, what flies in the skies of Benin every evening, etc.
As I evolve, my execution will evolve unapologetically. Please know your artist. It is why I do interviews. And that Illuminati talk is trash. I work too hard to create art for you guys to give the glory to some diabolical shit. Dead it now. Jesus is King.”
WOW.
