Nigerian artist Divine Ikubor, popularly known as Rema, has recently been the subject of occultic speculations following his recent O2 Arena show in London.
The Dark Horse And Stage Themed Colour
The show featured some definitive artistry, including a caved dark horse with Rema riding on it while wearing a red mask. The stage was also themed with dark and red colors, and the sound was designed to create a hypnotic atmosphere.
The Bat Stage
During his second act, Rema stood on an elevated, bat-like stage while singing. This has been interpreted by some as conveying a dark message.
Past Rumours
There have been ongoing rumors about Rema’s upside-down building-on-fire pendant, which led to the cancellation of his show in Ethiopia. There was also talk about a goat wearing the same chain, placed on a chessboard-like tile associated with the secret society “The Illuminati and the Baphomet”
The Rave
It is undeniable that every artistry is designed or encrypted to relay a message or messages to its target audience. For instance, the dark-carved horse with a fiery forelock and hoofs may not have any cultural significance, but horses generally symbolize strength and courage, among other good virtues. A bat, on the other hand, has more sensitive meanings, such as darkness, fear, death, rebirth, or initiations.
In conclusion, Rema’s artistic decisions to present or represent such artistry definitely connotes a meaning, and he alone can tell what message he is trying to pass across. But oftentimes, time does tell.
