Rema has been facing significant criticism since he shared the last message he received from the late singer Mohbad. Mohbad tragically lost his life on September 12th, 2023, at the young age of 27, leaving the music industry in shock and sorrow.
In his tribute to Mohbad, Rema, known for his hit song "Calm Down," expressed his deep sorrow over the singer's untimely passing. He expressed his belief that no one should meet such a fate and hinted that this tragedy was just the beginning of something greater.
However, Rema's revelation about a message from Mohbad in 2020 stirred controversy online. According to Rema, he didn't notice the message until after Mohbad's passing. In the message, the late singer praised Rema's song "Peace Of Mind" as his favorite. Rema expressed regret that he couldn't respond to the message before Mohbad's demise.
In his words, Rema wrote, "No one deserves to go like this. I'm hurt. I never saw your DM. You wrote 'Peace of mind' was your favorite song. Now it's too late to write you back. God's Angels be with you. Rest well, King."
The revelation sparked mixed reactions from fans and followers on social media. Some criticized Rema for including the detail about not seeing the message, while others urged people to appreciate and support artists when they are alive, rather than only after their passing.
__funkygold reacted: "Must you even include 'I never saw your DM'? Write your tribute in peace. Una too dey form classism abeg."
_lov_issabella: "So now that he's dead you want to reply to his text??? How did you know he messaged you if you never saw the text? All of una nah hypocrites, you ignored his message, con dey talk rubbish now. Celebrate people when they are alive, not when they are dead."
endylight1: "If you wanna write a tribute, please do and leave stories for another day. You didn't see his DM but you saw Selena Gomez's own."
chy0msss: "'I never saw your DM' Is that really necessary? So you can't write your tribute without including that part? Mtchewwww, Abeg shift one side."
endylight1: "You did not see his DM but you saw Selena Gomez's own. Let's learn to support our own 😮."
