Rema has addressed the speculation regarding his use of bat imagery and dark themes during his appearance on the “Kids Take Over” podcast.
He described the allegations of being a “devil worshiper” as the most absurd rumor, remarking, “It’s crazy… I didn’t respond because it’s not important. It’s a waste of time.”
Rema clarified that the symbols present in his artwork are deeply rooted in Edo culture, highlighting their cultural importance rather than any association with the occult.
He emphasized that his artistic expression is a reflection of his heritage and creative vision.
“I incorporate symbols from my Edo culture… it’s about my roots, not devil worship,” Rema stated.
Furthermore, Rema shared insights about his 2020 collaboration with Drake on the song “Mention Me,” offering a glimpse into their creative process.
