Rema Says He Still Believes in Nigeria Even Though Many Have Lost Hope
Afrobeats star Divine Ikubor, better known as Rema, has opened up about the struggles facing Nigeria and how they’ve made many citizens lose hope in the country.
Despite the challenges, Rema said he remains optimistic and is committed to playing his part in helping the nation grow.
In a recent chat with Rolling Stone, Rema admitted that many Nigerians feel frustrated and disillusioned, but he’s determined to stay hopeful. “A lot of people are giving up on Nigeria. A lot of people are angry at Nigeria. But I keep hope.
There aren’t many people who would carry Afrobeats and culture like this. It makes me look like I talk too much or care too much, or like I’m trying to be some kind of messiah. I don’t want to do too much — just what I need to do,” he said.
Rema also reflected on his experience at the 2025 Grammys, where he was nominated for Best Global Music Album but didn’t win. He said he was genuinely happy for the winners and had hoped to take the stage himself.
“I had my fingers crossed that I’d walk up that stage too, and when it didn’t happen… it happens. It’s not the first award I’ve been nominated for and didn’t get,” he shared.

American reality TV bad boy Rob Rausch makes headlines as he becomes the winner of a reality show called Traitors.
It can be noted that the finale of the series was a big shock to those in the house and it was definitely a moment of “Now you’re sending three home” in his overalls, of course.
It can be recalled that the reality star became popular after showing on the dating reality show Love Island where he came in for 3 seasons but really made an impact in his second appearance, season 6.
And with his fans from there, he easily became a topic to know as he claimed the winner of Traitors season 4.
Gospel singer Busola Oke speaks out and shared that she has been suffering financially. She reveals that she is making a big consideration of stepping away from the music industry.
The singer revealed this during a TikTok live session where she spoke on her personal difficulties and situation in her life.
“Right now, I have no car, and I owe a lot of people. The last time I had a car was in 2020. I need to pay my debts. I struggle to pay for the hotel I stay at now. I need shelter and a car, even if it is a jalopy. The money I am supposed to use for food, I use it to take Uber around.”
