My Alleged Association With Illuminati And Satanic Allegations, Making Me Lose Fans – Rema

Nigerian Afrobeats star Divine Ikubor, popularly known as Rema, has opened up about the impact of online rumors surrounding him.

In an interview with Rolling Stone, the Mavin Records artist dismissed claims that he is involved with the Illuminati, worships the devil, or drinks blood, calling them baseless fabrications.

Rema expressed frustration over losing fans who blindly believe these false narratives circulating online.

“Random stories have been made up about me being Illuminati, worshipping the devil, and drinking blood. I definitely lose some fans who just believe anything they see,” he said.

Speaking on a more personal note, the singer shared the deep sentimental value behind the pendants he wears.

He revealed that the jewelry is a tribute to his late father and brother, serving as a constant reminder of his roots and struggles before fame.

“It was just a dark moment that changed my life, so I always wear this chain—mostly because I never want to forget.

“While any craziness or any fantastic shit is happening, I always remind myself, ‘Know the struggles you came from,’ because, for real, people be forgetting,” he explained.

Rema also voiced concerns about Nigeria’s challenges, noting that many people have lost hope in the country.

Despite this, the musician said he remains determined to stay optimistic and contribute to Nigeria’s progress.

He said: “A lot of people are giving up in Nigeria. A lot of people are angry at Nigeria. But I keep hope. There’s not a lot of people who would carry Afrobeats like this so much, carry culture.

“It makes me look like a blabber. It makes me look like I talk too much, or care too much, or I’m trying to be a f**ing messiah. I don’t want to do much. I just want to do what I need to do.”
