Nigeria’s afrobeats star Divine Ikubor, aka Rema, has claimed that Nigerian parents don’t scold children who are the breadwinners of the family.
He claimed during a recent conversation with content creator Enzo.
The singer had advised Enzo to get a tattoo like his, but the content creator said his mother wouldn’t approve of it.
He recalled how his mother kept malice with him for days for braiding his hair. Rema then urged him to work harder, claiming that parents don’t chastise children who are breadwinners.
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.”
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.”

Rema had previously revealed that he has been the breadwinner of his family since he was a teenager due to his father’s passing.
He revealed that he made his first million at 17 and gave it all to his mother.
Just last month, the Edo state born star revealed the weirdest rumours he has heard about himself.
In an interview with Rolling Stone, Rema disclosed that he has heard rumours about being part of the Illuminati, worshipping the devil, and drinking blood.
The singer noted that these rumours have caused him to lose a considerable number of fans, stressing that some people believe whatever they see online.
“Random stories have been made up about me being Illuminati, worshipping the devil, and drinking blood. I definitely lose some fans who just believe anything they see,”
He also explained why he wears pendants in memory of his late father and brother.
“Random stories have been made up about me being Illuminati, worshipping the devil, and drinking blood. I definitely lose some fans who just believe anything they see.
It was just a dark moment that changed my life, so I always wear this chain mostly because I never want to forget. While any craziness or any fantastic sht is happening, I always remind myself, ‘Know the struggles you came from,’ because, for real, people be forgetting.”
