Nigerian Afrobeat singer, Divine Ikubor popularly known as Rema has claimed that he isn’t making music just because of the financial benefits.

The 21-year-old said he was financially buoyant even while he was doing freestyles and posting on social media which led to his record label discovering him.

Speaking in an interview with Korty EO, Rema said if he didn’t make it in the music industry, he would still be “hustling” and making money.
