Nigerian Afrobeats sensation Divine Ikubor, widely recognized as Rema, has shared insights into the end of his previous romantic relationship, characterizing his former partner as “quite manipulative.” In a candid conversation with YouTuber Korty EO, the “Calm Down” hitmaker described the relationship as “beautiful” yet far from tranquil.
The singer expressed that the pressures of fame and public life were already overwhelming, and he sought solace at home. However, instead of finding peace, he often encountered turmoil and conflict with his then-girlfriend. “Knowing the world puts so much pressure on me but coming back home is where you want to feel relieved,” Rema explained. “But when you come back home and you are getting more pressure, it’s a different story.”
Rema revealed that the constant stress and manipulation eventually pushed him to his limit, leading to his decision to walk away from the relationship. “For now, I’m done,” he stated emphatically, signaling his current focus on his career and personal well-being.
