Rema Shuts Down Illuminati & Devil-Worship Rumors in Rolling Stone Interview
Afrobeats sensation Rema has opened up about some of the wildest rumors he's heard about himself—and they’re as bizarre as they come. In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, the Ozeba hitmaker revealed that people have accused him of being part of the Illuminati, worshipping the devil, and even drinking blood.
According to Rema, these baseless claims have actually cost him fans, as some people believe anything they see online.
“Random stories have been made up about me being Illuminati, worshipping the devil, and drinking blood. I definitely lose some fans who just believe anything they see,” he said.
Despite the negativity, Rema stays grounded by reminding himself of his journey. He spoke about a life-changing experience that led him to always wear a symbolic chain—a constant reminder of his struggles and the path he has walked.
“It was just a dark moment that changed my life, so I always wear this chain—mostly because I never want to forget. While any craziness or any fantastic shit is happening, I always remind myself, ‘Know the struggles you came from,’ because, for real, people be forgetting.”
The superstar also touched on his views about family and fatherhood, revealing that he envisions building a strong legacy.
“I feel like there’s a need for us [family] to get bigger and become a whole empire if we can. And then neither do I want to wait for it to become a mistake before I decide to be a father. I’m very particular and I don’t really be hoeing around.”
Rema’s revelations highlight the challenges of fame, but one thing is clear—he’s focused on his craft, his family, and staying true to himself.
