Popular Afrobeats singer Rema has claimed the music industry is “fake” and dominated by “fake people.”
He said this inspiration came from his personal experiences and led to the creation of his song “Now I Know” from his sophomore album “He Is.”
Rema explained during his listening party that the industry is filled with people who pretend to be something they’re not and it can be challenging to identify genuine supporters.
He emphasised that when someone shows genuine love and support, it’s essential to appreciate it as it’s rare in the industry.
Rema said: “There are a lot of fake people in the [music] industry, the industry is fake. So when people come and say ‘Yo, I love this guy,’ nobody should come at them that they’re chasing clout. No, it’s real.
“When somebody comes out it’s because they’ve seen someone that’s real among everybody in the crazy industry mixed with both the fake and the real. And that’s what this song [‘Now I Know] is all about. Now I know who dey for me. All those I loved turned enemies. Now I know who dey for me. All those I trust turned enemies.”
Rema’s album, released via Mavin Records, features 11 tracks and collaborations with Shallipopi and Odumodublvck.
