Rema Says His New Look and Smoking is Just Art and Not a Lifestyle Change
Nigerian music star Rema has opened up about the reasons behind his bold rebranding during the rollout of his second album HEIS, which dropped last year. The Calm Down hitmaker had caught fans by surprise when he moved away from his usual teddy bear and mask look, embracing tattoos, smoking visuals, and a darker, edgier aesthetic.
Alongside the new look came a shift in sound and energy that left many wondering if he had changed for good. Marking the one-year anniversary of HEIS, Rema took to X to explain the deeper meaning behind the transformation. He clarified that the new persona wasn’t a departure from who he truly is but rather an artistic choice meant to match the mood and symbolism of the project.
He revealed that the album cover was inspired by Itachi Uchiha from the Naruto anime series; a character known for hiding painful truths behind a cold exterior. Rema said the smoking, darker visuals, and sound were part of that same storytelling technique: “The truth masked as illusion, love buried under what y’all thought was betrayal.”
Nigerian influencer Geh Geh has spoken about relationships and the current dating standard when it comes to finances.
He shared some of his personal thoughts, stating that if a woman is struggling financially and enters a relationship, she might depend on her partner for survival rather than love.
“You no be her boyfriend, bro. Na source of income you be. Person wey be say each time she needs something she go fit call to pay for those things wey she want. Na employer and employee na wetin una two dey do. Do you know the danger of paying for love? You go pay pay pay pay you no go pay finish…”
TikTok influencers and couple Jarvis and Peller have spoken about their relationship and shared how committed they are to each other.
During a recent interview, Peller was asked if he had ever cheated on Jarvis. He replied no, before speaking more about their commitment.
“If you cheat, you die. It’s the rule of the relationship. Things will not go well for the person. Because we are in a commitment. The fact that we pray together. God is involved. And you now go and cheat. Will God sit down and be looking at you? I will swear for you.”
Jarvis then added that they have placed “curses” on each other if either of them cheats.
