Nigerian Afrobeats singer, Divine Ikubor, also known as Rema, has revealed that the Nigerian music industry is filled with ‘fake people’, which helped inspire his song.
The singer made this known while speaking at the listening party for his sophomore album, ‘HeIs,’ in Lagos on Thursday night.
According to Rema, one of the tracks on the album “Now I Know” was inspired by the “fake” nature of the Nigerian music scene.
He 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 tell them that they’re chasing clout. No, it’s real.
“When somebody comes out, it’s because they’ve seen someone who’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.”
