- Divine Ikubor, also known as Rema, a musical artist, asserts that Nigerian parents do not criticize children who contribute financially to the family.
- In a recent conversation with content creator Enzo, he made the claim.
Popular Nigerian singer, Divine Ikubor, known professionally as Rema, has said that parents rarely chastise children who contribute financially to the family.
Rema made the statement during a recent chat with content creator Enzo.
During their conversation, Rema encouraged Enzo to get a tattoo like him. However, Enzo explained that his mother would disapprove, recalling how she gave him the silent treatment for days after he braided his hair.
Enzo: “My mum won’t let me get a tattoo. The time I did braids, she didn’t talk to me for days. It was bad.”
In response, Rema advised Enzo to focus on achieving financial success, suggesting that once he becomes a significant contributor to the family’s income, parental objections would lessen.
Rema: “Don’t worry, you just need to hustle a little bit more. Wait till you cash out big. Nigerian parents don’t advise breadwinners.”
The “Calm Down” crooner also previously disclosed that he became the main provider for his family after losing his father, having made his first million at the age of 17 — a sum he handed over entirely to his mother.
In other news, Reports have emerged that some fans of Afrobeat star Davido, known collectively as 30BG, allegedly assaulted a lady who made a cruel comment involving the artist’s late son, Ifeanyi, while mocking his new album.
The controversy began when the woman, identified as Arike and claiming to be a Wizkid supporter, took to Twitter to ridicule Davido’s recently released 5ive album. In reaction to a post by Charts Africa celebrating Davido’s appearance at number 24 on the Worldwide Apple Music Albums chart, Arike retweeted with an insensitive remark, comparing the album’s performance to the tragic drowning of Davido’s late son.
Her comment quickly sparked outrage online, with many condemning her for her callousness. Following the backlash, a Twitter user and apparent 30BG member later claimed that Arike was physically confronted, her phone was seized, and her social media accounts were deactivated.
The user posted:
“UPDATE ‼️‼️
Arike was picked up yesterday and beaten.
Her phone was collected from her, and we made sure we deleted everything in her account. This account doesn’t exist again.
I hope others will learn from this.”
The incident has drawn mixed reactions online, with some calling for justice and others viewing it as a harsh lesson.
