Nigerian Afrobeats sensation Rema has revealed some surprising details about his pre-show rituals.
Speaking to Dazed during Milan Fashion Week, where he walked the runway for Diesel, the artist shared that he combines a bit of alcohol, cigarettes, prayer, and sound checks to prepare for his performances.
“A little Tequila, a little cigarette, pray, tap in with the team and make sure everything is on cue,” Rema explained, emphasizing that performing is far more demanding than walking a runway, with breath control and crowd energy being key.
On his current musical inspirations, he mentioned immersing himself in Sudanese cultural live music while candidly admitting that smoking remains his “biggest vice.” These insights offer fans a rare glimpse into the personal routines behind one of Afrobeats’ most dynamic performers.

In other news, during an interview with People Gallery, the 25-year-old singer revealed that personal style ranks higher for him than financial status in a relationship.
When asked, “Would you rather have a girl with style or funds?” Rema responded without hesitation:
“I already got the funds, so style.”
The hitmaker explained that having achieved financial stability and independence at a young age, money is no longer a deciding factor for him when it comes to love. Instead, he values individuality, confidence, and a strong sense of personal style.
