Nigerian singer, Divine Ikubor, popularly known as Rema, has revealed losing his dad at an early age shaped his mindset and mood.
Naija News reports that the ‘Calm Down’ crooner made this known while appearing on the Afrobeats podcast hosted by Shopsydoo.
According to the singer, he didn’t take life seriously until his father’s death, compelling him to realise the importance of family.
He said, “It [losing my dad] shaped me, to be honest. It shaped my mindset, my mood, you know.
“There was a point in time I was very colourful, I would say. I was funny, running around and unserious. I never took life seriously until when I lost my dad. And it just shows different sides of people. It just shows the importance of family as well.
“Yeah, as siblings we might have our fights and quarrels but you never know when you will just not see them again; the people you are closest to.
“For my dad, my dad used to call me a soldier”
This Is Disrespectful
Meanwhile, Rema, recently walked out of his musical concert in Atlanta, United States.
The artiste refused to perform due to the venue’s terrible condition.
In a disappointing turn of events, the singer was captured in a video saying the concert would not go on, citing safety concerns and ‘disrespect’ for the fans and Afrobeats.
