Rema reveals why he keeps his wealth, achievements private

Nigerian Afrobeats singer Divine Ikubor, popularly known as Rema, has explained why he avoids flaunting his wealth and achievements on social media, saying he does not want to put pressure on young people who look up to him. Speaking in an interview with Jam FM, the 26-year-old singer said many young people admire him and aspire to achieve similar levels of success. Rema noted that being aware of his influence on young people has made him more cautious about how he showcases his lifestyle online. He explained that he does not want his wealth and accomplishments to make those who are still striving to succeed feel pressured or inadequate. “A lot of young people look up to me, whether they are my fans or not. I have something they want or dream of, so I do my best not to make anyone feel bad about themselves or feel pressured. “Everybody has their time but some people just want to rush it because they see their fellow young person doing well. Sometimes, people tell me not to care about whether my lifestyle would pressure anyone, but I still feel some people will misinterpret it if I flaunt my lifestyle. “I just care about the kids who are under pressure. Parents do that as well. Parents compare a lot. Parents put a lot of kids under pressure. A lot of kids are in school studying what they don’t want to study because their parents want them to have good paying jobs. “So, I don’t want anybody to rush their time or pressure themselves because of me. I just like to keep it simple. That is one reason I enjoy streetwear. I really don’t do too many designers. The only thing that is really lavish about me may be my chains or watches, ” Rema stated.
