“I’m not doing music because of money” – Rema

Famous artist Divine Ikubor, often known as Rema, has claimed that he does not create songs purely for financial gain.

The 21-year-old claimed to be financially secure even when performing freestyles and posting on social media, which led to his record company finding him.

Korty EO was told by Rema in an interview that he would still be “hustling” and earning money even if he failed to break into the music industry.

The ‘Calm Down’ crooner said, “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.”*
