Rema Calls Himself HEIS and Links Identity to Jesus and Neo
Nigerian music star Rema has shaken social media with a bold and spiritual message. In a post shared on his X (formerly Twitter) account, the singer compared himself to Jesus and Neo from The Matrix.
He said, “I always said from the beginning, I am the future. I am the chosen one.” His message was not just about confidence. It came with deep meaning tied to his latest album HEIS.
“No Award Could Fill This Gap for Me,” Rema Speaks on Album Journey
Rema shared how he returned to his hometown after five years. During this visit, he performed at a sold-out stadium show and received blessings from the Oba.
He wrote, “I made my triumphant entry back to my home after 5 years, sold out the stadium and received the blessings of the Oba and left with my medal (key).”
He then connected his album journey with spiritual growth. According to him, it went beyond music and fame.
“No award or international gratification could fill up this gap for me,” he continued. “I walked with this album to the depth, musically, physically, psychologically and spiritually.”
Jesus Is “I AM,” Neo Is “The One,” and Rema Says “HEIS”
To wrap up his heartfelt message, Rema boldly placed himself in a trio of powerful characters. He wrote, “Jesus (I AM), Neo (The one), Rema (HEIS).”
He explained that he learnt key life lessons from both Jesus and The Matrix. He said both stories showed him the value of “the key.” For Jesus, it was the key to life. For Neo, it was his quest for purpose and power.
In Rema’s words, “A crucial piece I learned from the stories of Jesus (key of life) & the Matrix (in Neo’s search for the key).”
