In other news, Nigerian music star Rema, whose real name is Divine Ikubor, created a stir on social media with his latest photos showing off a new hairstyle.

The Afrobeats artist, who had cut off his dreadlocks, was seen with a fresh look in studio images.

In 2020, Rema gained attention when he chopped off his dreadlocks to support the #EndSARS protests in Nigeria.

He shared photos of his new hairstyle on Twitter, saying, “Dreads don’t mean I’m a criminal #EndSARS.”

In the latest trending photos on Elon Musk’s X platform, Rema was spotted in a Bottega outfit for the UK publication, Dazed.

What caught people’s attention was his use of decorative hairpins in his dreadlocks and a tilted pose that had an effeminate touch.

Among those who saw the singer’s new look was Nollywood producer Stanley Ontop.

He posted pictures on Instagram and humorously questioned if the Ozeba hitmaker was secretly becoming the queen of Africa.

He wrote:

“Tongues wag, women and men faint as Rema turns herself into the Queen of Africa. Rema and Tana Dey compete. What’s the bending for🤷‍♂️ anyways? What do I know?”
