Rema revealed that he became the breadwinner of his family in his teenage years following the death of his father. He also shared that he made his first million at the age of 17 and gave it all to his mother.
The musical artist, Divine Ikubor, popularly known as Rema, recently claimed that Nigerian parents rarely chastise children who contribute financially to the household. He made this statement during a conversation with content creator Enzo.
Rema, regarded as one of Nigeria’s finest singers, encouraged Enzo to get a tattoo like his during their discussion. However, Enzo expressed that his mother would not approve. “My mum won’t let me get a tattoo. The time I did braids, she didn’t talk to me for days. It was bad,” Enzo said, recalling how his mother gave him the silent treatment for braiding his hair.
In response, Rema advised him to focus on working hard and becoming successful. He said, “Don’t worry, you just need to hustle a little bit more. Wait till you cash out big. Nigerian parents don’t advise breadwinners.”
