Nigerian singer Divine Ikubor, popularly known as Rema, has revealed how the death of his dad at an early age shaped his mind.
According to the singer, after his father passed away, he began to take life seriously and realized the value of having family close by.
The 23-year-old made this known when he appeared on the Afrobeats podcast hosted by Shopsydoo.
Rema said, “It [losing my dad] shaped me, to be honest. It shaped my mindset and my mood, you know.
“There was a time when I was very colorful. I was funny, running around and unserious. I never took life seriously until I lost my dad. And it just shows the different sides of people. It just shows the importance of family.
“Yeah, as siblings, we might have our fights and quarrels, but you never know when you will not see them again; they are the people you are closest to.
“For my dad, he called me a soldier.”
