“Ayra and Tyla Are Family” – Rema Talks About His Closest Friends
Nigerian singer Rema, in a recent interview, shared his perspectives on family and personal conduct. He expressed a strong desire to avoid having children out of wedlock and emphasized his intentional approach to relationships.
Rema stated, “I feel like there’s a need for us [family] to get bigger and become a whole empire if we can. And then neither do I want to wait for it to become a mistake before I decide to be a father. I’m very particular and I won’t be h*eing around.”
Discussing his connections within the industry, Rema spoke about his relationships with fellow artists Ayra Starr and South African singer Tyla. He described Ayra as “family” and mentioned that he had been friends with Tyla even before their respective rises to fame.
Also, American singer and actress Selena Gomez has publicly expressed her admiration for Rema. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Gomez stated, “I am completely impressed with Rema as an artist.
I believe the future for him is truly endless in what he can achieve. I was a fan of the song [‘Calm Down’] even before I jumped onto the remix. What stands out for me is how the song continued to grow even a year after it was first released.”
