AFROBEATS artist, Divine Ikubor, popularly known as Rema, has revealed that it was the death of his father that made him decide to take life seriously.
The 23 years old singer and rapper had lost his father at an early age, which made him realise what life was all about as it changed his mindset, which prompted him to readjust his ways.
Speaking on a podcast hosted by Shopsydoo, Rema said: “It shaped me(losing his dad), to be honest. It shaped my mindset, my mood, you know. There was a point in time I was very colourful, I would say. I was funny, running around and unserious. I never took life seriously until when I lost my dad. And it just shows different sides of people. It just shows the importance of family as well.
“Yeah, as siblings, we might have our fights, quarrels, but you never know when you will just not see them again; the people you are closest to."
Rema's father, Justice Ikubor, was a former chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
