In other news, Rema, emphasized that the Nigerian music industry is filled with “fake people,” and how this reality inspired one of his songs. The international star made this known while speaking at the listening party for his second album, “He Is,” in Lagos on Thursday night.
Rema explained that the “fake” nature of the industry inspired one of the songs on the album, “Now I Know.” His candid revelation about the industry’s superficiality and the challenges he faces highlights the authenticity and depth of his music.
In his words,
“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 come at them that they’re chasing clout. No, it’s real.
“When somebody comes out it’s because they’ve seen someone that’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,” Rema stated.
