Rema
Nigerian singer, Divine Ikubor, popularly known as Rema, has sang about his struggles at a young age, including claims that women gave him drugs.
Rema gained prominence in 2019 after signing with Mavin Records and releasing his debut EP at the age of 19.
In his new song “Moviestar,” a collaboration with French musician Sofiane Pamart, the singer reflected on his early rise to fame and the challenges that came with it.
He suggested in the lyrics that he was exposed to difficult experiences after becoming famous, including situations where women allegedly gave him drugs when he was still young.
Rema also expressed that many fans do not fully understand his personal struggles because they do not know what he went through early in his career.
“Girls always give me drugs. My happiness is zipped in their little purse. Friends always make me feel robbed,” he sings.
He further indicated in the song that adjusting to fame was difficult after signing his record deal, saying he was expected to focus on performing and entertaining fans despite his personal experiences.
