Budding singer and songwriter, Divine Ikubor otherwise called Rema, has said that there are many ‘fake people’ in the Nigerian music industry.
Rema emphasised that it is not restricted to the creatives alone as the entire industry is fake, which is why when people say they love a particular artiste, it is not a part of clout-chasing.
According to the 23-year-old, that declaration of love is one of the genuine things anybody in the sector can do that he will believe the person.
The ‘Bounce’ crooner said people he loved and trusted turned to enemies, andthat’s what h addresses in the song ‘Now I Know’ off his new album.
Rema bared his mind at the listening party of his sophomore album, ‘He Is,’ in Lagos on Wenesday night, July 10, 2024.
The singer said; “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 craazy 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’s 11-track sophomore album dropped today, Thursday with guest features from Shallipopi and Odumodublvck.
