Rema, a prominent Afrobeats artist, has shared the motivation behind his early entry into the music industry
In an interview with Capital Xtra London, Rema attributed his drive to succeed to his mother’s financial struggles and hardship.
He recalled how his mother’s inability to afford transportation costs for her daily commute spurred him to pursue a music career.
Rema expressed his desire to improve their circumstances, stating that he prioritized buying a car for his mother once he earned money, showing his appreciation for her support and prayers, which he believes have contributed to his success.
“I was tired of my mum trekking every day; she didn’t even have money for transport to use a bus or bike. So I had to take it to the next level ASAP.
“The moment I made money, I got her a car ASAP. We went for dinner, then I gave her that car. A lot of boys would go for their own cars first but I was still trekking, but I had to get a car for my mum first.
“She’s a great mum. She’s the reason I’m successful. Her prayers. She’s really proud of me.”
