Why My Lyric "I'm In Love With Plenty Women" Is Not True Again - Rema

Nigerian singer Rema is having a wonderful moment in his career right now. He is currently on his American tour and is soon to kick off the UK leg of his tour. To promote the UK dates, Rema did an interview with Rolling Stones UK and he opened up about a number of things. He opened up about why D'Prince signed him, success, running away from home, and love. Here is exactly what Rema said.

Speaking on how D'Prince signed him, his music, and his career today, Rema said:

[When I met D'Prince], he told me that he likes my voice, and he feels like I’m gonna sound really good on Afrobeat, I told him I don’t really do Afrobeat, I just rap, so he said, ‘Give it a try.’ I was like, ‘This is a mountain I have to climb.’ I kept pushing myself, connecting my influences within. And I made a couple songs and kept going until I found myself, and that’s it. That’s how the Rema sound came out.

At first it was quite funny, a lot of people laughed, a lot of people criticised, but I stood beside it, I kept going, I kept pushing. Right now, that criticism is a blessing to me: I stand out, I’ve distinguished myself. If I don’t drop music for a year, it will be obvious in Africa that something is missing. That’s how bold a statement my sound has made.

Speaking about the lyric "Many get money pass me die / But this my baby no dey collect all their bribe", Rema opened up about life in Benin and why he ran away from his last relationship. He said:

Things were tough in Benin. I had to find bread for my family. I ran away from home because we were facing a lot of issues and I had to make ends meet.

When I was in Benin, there was a standard that everyone had on relationships, and I felt the need to match up with that because at some point in time I’d be doubting myself or she’d be doubting the relationship — if she’s with the right person and all. And it just caused that paranoia and anxiety, and I felt the need to run away, go somewhere else where we can just create our own narrative of love.

Speaking more about love and what it means to him, Rema said:

Love has played a lot of role in my life, love has been my drive, love has stood as something that grants me healing. Love has given me reasons to live. And it’s not just about a girl, it’s just in general, in life, team-wise, family, everything.

When asked about if his lyric, "I’m in love with plenty women" is still true, Rema said:

I don’t have time for it, I have a world to take.

It's good to see Rema growing and just dominating in his career right now. I am so proud of and so happy for him. Keep taking over the world Rema, you truly can love those plenty women later 😂.
