According to him, the switch began when he
started going to sing at bars and lounges just so he
could make ends meet .
The Benin-born singer disclosed that before then,
he was the head of a gospel rap group in his
church.
He Said;
“I was still in Benin when that switch happened. A
lot of people thought that when I got signed, I
started deviating.

“No. Actually, life was tough in Benin. I’m not that
guy to ask the people in church to pay me because
I’m doing God’s work.
“Right there in Benin, I started going to
competitions, going to bars, lounges, political
rallies; just trying to get on the stage and hold a
microphone, to at least get sprayed some money
to come back home and feed my family, because
we were going through tough times.
“I lost my father and brother and I needed to come
through for my family.
At that point in time, I felt
like that’s where I started spacing out; little by
little, until I just exiled.”
Rema revealed that the transition was weird for
him and his mum but he was unable to convince
the latter about his choice.
“It was weird for me and most especially for my
mum because she was well known in church. I
didn’t do any much explaining. I just told her to
trust me.”
