Rema has said in a fresh interview that losing his father at a young age impacted his perception of life.
The multiple award-winning artiste claim that he didn’t take life seriously while growing up until his father passed away, at which point he understood the value of family.
Rema claimed that before Mr Ikubor’s death, he used to be very carefree and uncoordinated, but it all changed. Rema was a guest on the Afrobeats podcast, which is presented by Adesope Olajide.
The Calm Down hitmaker said; “It [losing my dad] shaped me, to be honest. It shaped my mindset, my mood, you know.
“There was a point in time I was very colourful, I would say. I was funny, running around and unserious. I never took life seriously until when I lost my dad. And it just shows different sides of people. It just shows the importance of family as well.
“Yeah, as siblings we might have our fights, quarrels but you never know when you will just not see them again; the people you are closest to. For my dad, my dad used to call me a soldier.”
Relatedly, Rema gave an unexpected reply to a fan who beseeched his Twitter page to ask for money.
The Nigerian Afrobeat star whose real name is Divine Ikubor told the fan that he’s also in dire need of money, ultimately shutting down the prospect of getting a giveaway from him.
It all started with Rema asking his fans how they are doing, and a guy known as @ommies_official, wrote; “We’re okay ooo but e be like say we need money make we drop AZA”
Responding to his plea, Rema said that he also needs money which is why he is going for music shows.
He tweeted; “Brother all of us need money, if I no need money I for no dey go show.”
