Rema opens up on why he wears eyeglasses
Afropop sensation Divine Ikubor, widely known as Rema, has recently shared a personal detail that has captivated the interest of his fans.
During an exclusive interview with Capital Xtra at the prestigious red-carpet event of the 2024 Brit Awards held in London, United Kingdom on Saturday, March 2, 2024, the “Calm Down” hitmaker unveiled the reason behind his distinctive eyewear.
In the interview, the host delved into Rema’s personal life, prompting him to reveal a secret he had never shared before. After a brief moment of hesitation, Rema candidly admitted, “I use glasses. I’m suffering from long-sightedness.”
Long-sightedness, also known as hyperopia, is a common refractive error where distant objects can be seen more clearly than nearby ones, often requiring corrective eyewear to aid vision.
Rema’s disclosure offers insight into the personal challenges he navigates behind the scenes of the music industry’s glitz and glamour. Despite his rapid ascent to fame, the Nigerian-born singer-songwriter remains transparent about his health struggles.
