- A man who claims to be Rema’s uncle, residing deep in the village, has come forward to speak on his blood ties with the superstar singer.
- He laid bare the simmering tension within the family, revealing how Rema, his mother, and siblings have drifted apart from their relatives on his late father’s side.
Francis Ikubor, who claims to be the uncle of Afrobeats sensation Divine Ikubor, better known to the world as Rema, has stepped into the spotlight to spill the tea on the singer’s rumored strained relationship with his paternal relatives.
In a viral video that has set social media ablaze, Mr. Ikubor began by reminiscing about the deep bond he once shared with Rema’s late father, Justice Ikubor.
He revealed that Justice was his elder brother, and they lived just a stone’s throw from each other in Benin City before tragedy struck.
With a heavy heart, he painted a picture of the closeness that once defined their family, a bond that seems to have tragically unraveled in the years following Justice’s untimely death.
When prodded about the rumors of mistreatment towards Rema, his mother, and siblings by their father’s side of the family, Mr. Ikubor didn’t hold back. He shared that in the beginning, after Justice’s passing, their brother Ezekiel Ikubor was a constant pillar of support for the grieving family.
According to him, Ezekiel was always present, frequently visiting Rema, his mother, and siblings, doing his best to fill the void left by Justice’s death.
However, Mr. Ikubor dropped a bombshell when he revealed that the once-warm relationship between Ezekiel and Rema’s immediate family has now turned cold. He hinted at a serious, undisclosed conflict that has driven a wedge between them, a rift so deep that it’s severed what little connection they had left.
With a tone dripping in regret and caution, Mr. Ikubor admitted that this mysterious fallout is something too delicate, too explosive, to be shared on camera, leaving viewers to wonder what dark secrets lie behind this family’s fractured facade.
