Afrobeats titans like Davido, Wizkid, and Burna have all exploited this habit to fuel their bad-boy mystique, but Rema has long been the exception - until his recent capitulation.

This shocking about-face has ignited a firestorm among fans, who wasted no time pointing fingers at Shallipopi, accusing him of leading the Mavin star down this smoky path.
