It appears Hakimi Achraf’s divorce case is bringing to the fore the “mummy’s boy” in some Nigerian men.
Days after the whole world learnt that Achraf’s possessions where in his mother’s name, Nigerian singer, songwriter, and rapper Divine Ikubor, popularly known as Rema is making a revelation.
He says he made his first million naira at the age of 17 and handed all the money to his mother.
The 22-year-old musician disclosed this in a recent interview with Z100 New York.
“The person who I knew needed it more was my mom. So, I handed everything I made to her.
“I know it was cool to drive around the city as a 17-year-old in a cool whip.
“But I can’t drive a cool whip when my mom doesn’t have a car or when my mom has to borrow my keys. You know, I had to put her on first,” he said.
“Passing all of that to her, whatever investment she makes…
“I made my first million [Naira] at 17, but I made more than a million. But it’s cool to be at that stage and be able to provide for your family,” Rema said.
Speaking further, the Calm Down crooner said his biggest achievement was being able to provide for his family and create opportunities for others.
“Someone created an opportunity for me to bless the world this much. So, I can’t imagine how much the people I helped are going to bless the world.
