Divine Ikubor, the acclaimed Nigerian singer, better known by his stage name Rema recently opened up about the prevalent presence of 'fake people' in the Nigerian music landscape, serving as the muse for his latest creation.
At the vibrant listening party for his second album, 'He Is,' held in the lively city of Lagos on a Thursday night, the 23-year-old maestro behind hits like 'Calm Down' shared his candid thoughts on the industry's authenticity.
Rema's introspection led to the birth of a poignant track on the album, 'Now I Know,' where he delves into the intricate nuances of dealing with the facades within the music industry, offering listeners a glimpse into his personal journey and reflections on the challenges faced in the pursuit of artistic truth.
In his words:
“There are a lot of fake people in the industry, the industry is fake. So when people come and say ‘Yo, I love this guy,’ nobody should come at them that they’re chasing clout. No, it’s real.
“When somebody comes out it’s because they’ve seen someone that’s real among everybody in the crazy industry mixed with both the fake and the real. And that’s what this song [‘Now I Know] is all about.
Now I know who dey for me. All those I loved turned enemies. Now I know who dey for me. All those I trust turned enemies.”
