Rema opens up on why he ventured into music

Afrobeats artist Rema has stated the reason why he ventured into the music industry at a very young age.

According to the music icon, his desire to pursue a music career was spurred by his mother’s hardship and poverty.

Rema recounted in an interview with Capital Xtral London that he was driven to succeed since his mother couldn’t afford transportation costs while she went about her everyday job.

In his words;

“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.”
