Divine Ikubor, the renowned musician better known as Rema, has emphasized that his primary motivation for making music is not solely driven by financial gain.
In a recent interview with Korty EO, the 21-year-old artist revealed that even during his early days of creating freestyles and sharing them on social media, he was financially stable. He explained that it was this genuine passion for music that led to his discovery by a record label.
Rema further expressed that even if his music career hadn’t taken off, he would still be engaged in entrepreneurial endeavors to secure his financial well-being.
The ‘Calm Down’ artist explained, “
If music didn’t work, I will still be pushing that p in the corner while hustling, you understand. Even at that point where I was doing freestyles, I didn’t really need to do a freestyle because I needed money. I had money. I was actually good.”
