Nigerian Entertainment News: Why I Finally Started Smoking – Rema
In a recent conversation, Nigerian music sensation Divine Ikubor, popularly known as Rema, has revealed the reasons behind his decision to start smoking
Over the past few months, Rema, known for hits like “Beamer,” has sparked concern with his increasing smoking habits during various public appearances.
The “Ozeba” hitmaker shared that following his father’s passing, he was burdened with the responsibility of caring for his family alone, which made him feel like he had to sacrifice his youth.
Speaking candidly with GRM, Rema, now 24, expressed his desire to “feel young again.” It was said by the musician that he started smoking recently to feel “free and break some rules.”
“I really wanted to feel like a child again,” he said. It seems like I grew up too quickly. When I lost my dad and my brother, my whole world changed. It was like a weight was on my back, and I had to sell my youth to support my family.
“God willing, everything happened well, it happened fast. And with fast fame, comes fast maturity. It’s just like never ending level of seriousness. So much adults. So much meetings. I didn’t even rolled with my age mates.
“So this project [‘HeIs’], I just want to be a child. And it’s coming out. It’s not me forcing it out. It just sparked in my spirit. I just want to feel young again. I just to be a rebel. You know, kids make mistakes and it’s acceptable. But when you’re a teenager and you make the same mistake your peers would make, everyone will come for you just because you’re in the spotlight.
“I know people who smoked a cigarette when they were 13 and I’m 24 smoking a cigarette because I just want to feel free and break some rules. All my life just feel so planned and scheduled. I just got tired.”
Rema also talks about competing with the Big 3 on GRM daily.
