Rema Says His Mother’s Struggles Inspired His Music Career
Afrobeats sensation Divine Ikubor, better known as Rema, has revealed that his mother’s struggles with poverty were a significant driving force behind his decision to pursue a career in music.
In a recent interview with Capital Xtra London, Rema shared his personal motivation, explaining how his mother’s financial difficulties deeply affected him.
He recalled how his mother often had to walk long distances due to her inability to afford transportation. This situation fueled his determination to achieve success quickly.
“I was deeply troubled by seeing my mother walk every day because she couldn’t afford bus or bike fare. It was a powerful motivator for me to elevate my situation and succeed,” Rema said.
Once he began earning from his music career, Rema prioritized buying a car for his mother over acquiring one for himself. He described the moment he presented her with the car as a significant milestone, emphasizing how much he values her support and sacrifices.
“Instead of buying a car for myself first, I focused on getting one for my mum. We went out for dinner, and I surprised her with the car. Many might choose to prioritize their own needs, but I wanted to honor her first,” he explained.
Rema also expressed profound gratitude for his mother’s unwavering support and prayers, attributing much of his success to her.
“She’s been an incredible mother and the cornerstone of my success. Her pride in my achievements means everything to me.”
Nigerian actor Tobi Makinde has reacted to rumours circulating about his relationship with Funke Akindele.
It can be noted that reports claimed the two were no longer on speaking terms and had grown apart.
However, the actor has dismissed the rumours, stating that nothing has changed between them and that social media is making assumptions.
“Nothing really happened between me and Madam Funke, and I am not aware of any fallout. Social media likes constructing their own script, and when they are done, they start looking for people to fill in the character they want.”
Nigerian singer Ayra Starr has shared her views on faith and religion. She explained that her relationship with God is personal and not solely based on church attendance, but something she works on daily.
“I can only try to be as perfect as Jesus is. I am not there yet, but I’m trying my best. I have a very close relationship with God and the Holy Spirit, and it doesn’t come with me only being in church.”
She added “Everything that comes with religion can feel limiting. I have found a way that works for me, and I am fine with it for now.”
Popular rapper Cardi B has issued a strong warning to individuals who stole and used her credit card.
It can be noted that the rapper had earlier expressed her frustration on social media after discovering her card was stolen and used before it could be frozen.
She later revealed that the stores where the transactions occurred captured clear images of the suspects, and she intends to pursue justice.
“I got clear pictures of you all in Saks and in Apple. One thing about me is that I don’t play with my money. You all are going to jail,”.
