Rema Was Born And Raised In Benin\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Famously called the future of Afrobeat, the singer who burst onto the scene in 2018 was born on 1 May 2000. Although very little is known about his background, we know he hails from Benin kingdom of Edo state, Nigeria. It was there he completed his primary and secondary school for his first school leaving certificate and WAEC respectively.<\/p>\n

Rema didn’t have it all as a child but he definitely didn’t rise from the rags. His dad was a judge and supported his family substantially. As a child, he occupied himself with performing in church and street programs, little did he know that not before long that he\u2019ll be performing on the biggest stages in the country and beyond. However, things changed for the lad when his dad and brother died just a few years before he hit the big stage. His mom and sister became his solace besides music.<\/p>\n

He Chose Music Over School<\/strong><\/h3>\n

As Rema dealt with the death of his dad and brother he focused on building his musical career. On this note, he isn\u2019t known to be a graduate of any Nigerian university and hasn\u2019t been associated with education since he finished his secondary school education. He once revealed on his Instagram page in a post that he later deleted that he was supposed to be in school but he chose music. This had his fans consoling him that school could be achieved at any age. Well, indeed, it\u2019s never too late to start school. Besides, Rema is still very young and has plenty of time to get back to school.<\/p>\n
