Nigerian Afrobeats sensation, Rema, has stirred up a wave of mixed reactions with his recent expression of feeling different from his past self.
The internationally acclaimed artist has been on the radar recently, with a remarkable achievement of six nominations at the 2023 Billboard Music Awards, owing to the success of his hit track 'Calm Down'. However, in a thought-provoking Instagram post, Rema shared a photo of himself appearing troubled, accompanied by a caption written in the Chinese language.
“I’m not the same anymore :(", he wrote, using a sad emoticon to emphasize his feelings of change.
This cryptic message from the artist has ignited a flurry of responses. Some have insinuated that his transformation may be linked to rumored affiliations with groups like the Illuminati, allegedly pursued for the sake of fame.
