Famous Afrobeats singer Divine Ikubor, better known by is stage Rema, emphasizes that the Nigerian music industry is filled with ‘fake people’ and how it inspired his song.
The global celebrity revealed this while giving a speech on Thursday night at the Lagos listening party for his second album, “He Is.”
The hitmaker of “Another Banger” revealed that one of the tracks on the album, “Now I Know,” was inspired by the “fake” character of the industry.
In his words,
“There are a lot of fake people in the [music] 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,” Rema stated.
Rema’s 11-track second album was released on Thursday through Mavin Records, featuring guest performance from Shallipopi and Odumodublvck.
