At his album listening party for ‘He Is,’ Afrobeats star Divine Ikubor, also known as Rema, expressed his belief that the Nigerian music industry is filled with inauthentic individuals.
This sentiment influenced a song on the album titled ‘Now I Know.’
Rema said, “There are a lot of fake people in the [music] industry, the industry is fake. So when people come and say ‘Yo, I love this guy,’ nobody should come at them that they’re chasing clout. No, it’s real.
“When somebody comes out it’s because they’ve seen someone that’s real among everybody in the crazy industry mixed with both the fake and the real. And that’s what this song [‘Now I Know] is all about. Now I know who dey for me. All those I loved turned enemies. Now I know who dey for me. All those I trust turned enemies.”
Released by Mavin Records, the 11-track sophomore album includes collaborations with Shallipopi and Odumodublvck.
