Nigerian music sensation Rema, whose real name is Divine Ikubor, has recently found himself at the centre of a social media storm after being spotted smoking a cigarette during a fashion show in Paris, France.
The 24-year-old singer, who had previously expressed his preference for “stick sweets” over “blunts” in a 2019 tweet, has now surprised his fan base with this unexpected behaviour.
Rema’s supporters, who have long admired his humble and calm demeanour, were taken aback by the video footage circulating online. Many of them rushed to social media to express their concerns and offer advice to the young artist.
“Rema, stop smoking in public! It doesn’t look good on you. People have loved you for your humility and calmness, so please reconsider this new habit,” tweeted @solomo_pn.
Another fan, @idek.sensei, suggested that if Rema wanted to smoke, he should consider using a healthier alternative: “Bro, even if you want to start smoking, a cigarette is not the best choice. You should smoke weed. Put that sh*t down!”
Some fans went a step further, blaming Rema’s close friend and fellow artiste, Shallipopi, for potentially influencing the singer’s new behaviour. “@heissheyman” wrote, “Shallipopi don influence Rema to Dey smoke. My boy didn’t smoke before in videos.”
The controversy surrounding Rema’s smoking habit comes at a time when the singer had announced a musical break in late 2023 to focus on his health. Fans were eagerly anticipating his return, which he made just two days ago on June 18, with a new post on his Instagram page after wiping off his old posts.
The reactions from Rema’s supporters highlight the high expectations they have for the young artist, who has quickly become a role model for many Nigerian youth. While some fans are understanding and encourage Rema to explore alternative and healthier options, others express disappointment and urge him to reconsider his new lifestyle choice.
As the debate continues, it remains to be seen how Rema will address the concerns raised by his loyal fanbase. The singer’s next moves will be closely watched, as his supporters hope to see him return to the public eye with a renewed focus on his health and the positive influence he has had on his younger audience.
