Rema explains why he has adopted the habit of smoking cigarettes (Video)

Talented Nigerian pop singer Divine Ikubor popularly known in music circles as Rema has explained why he has adopted the habit of smoking cigarettes so he can feel free.
The “Calm Down” crooner revealed in an interview with GRM Daily that he smokes because he is anxious about having to grow up fast and support his family; he now wishes he could be a child again.
He averred that kids make mistakes and it’s acceptable but when one is 19 or 20 and famous and they make that mistake, the same mistake that a 19-year-old would make, everybody will come to that person.

He explained, “I just want to be a rebel again. You know kids make mistakes and it’s acceptable but when you’re 19 or 20 and famous and you make that mistake, the same mistake that a 19-year old would make, everybody will come for you. All because you’re in the limelight and they’re like, ‘Oh, you’re not supposed to make that kind of mistake’, why? I’m a kid!”
“I know people who smoked their first cigarettes when they were 13 and I’m 24. I smoke a cigarette because I just want to feel free, and I just want to be a rebel and I want to break some rules. All my life just feels so planned right now; there’s just so much scheduled and I got tired. I just put that freedom in my music,” Rema concluded.
