‘There Are Lots Of Fake People In Music Industry’ – Rema Reveals 

Rema, the Afrobeats sensation, recently shared his thoughts on the Nigerian music industry, stating that it is largely populated by insincere individuals.

While attending the listening party for his second album, ‘He Is,’ in Lagos, Rema revealed that his experiences with these “fake people” inspired one of the album’s tracks, ‘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.”

The 11-track album, released via Mavin Records, features collaborations with Shallipopi and Odumodublvck.

Rema’s candid remarks offer a glimpse into the challenges he faces in the industry, reflected in his music.
