Rema confirmed he deviated from gospel music to secular songs before he moved to Lagos and got signed by the Don Jazzy-led Mavin Records and D\u2019Prince controlled-Jonzing World.<\/p>\n<p>According to the 21-year-old, his transition to secular music was strange to his mother because of her popularity in the church.

A lot of people thought that when I got signed, I started deviating.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo. Actually, life was tough in Benin. I\u2019m not that guy to ask the people in church to pay me because I\u2019m doing God\u2019s work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRight there in Benin, I started going to competitions, going to bars, lounges, political rallies; just trying to get on the stage and hold a microphone, to at least get sprayed some money to come back home and feed my family, because we were going through tough times.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI lost my father and brother and I needed to come through for my family. At that point in time, I felt like that\u2019s where I started spacing out; little by little, until I just exiled.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was weird for me and most especially for my mum because she was well known in church. I didn\u2019t do any much explaining.
