Rema, the Nigerian singer, faced heavy criticism after sharing the last message he received from the late singer Mohbad, who tragically lost his life at the age of 27 on September 12, 2023.
In his mourning tribute to Mohbad, Rema expressed his deep sorrow over the singer’s tragic passing, stating that no one deserved to die in such a manner and that it was just the beginning.
However, Rema generated controversy online when he revealed that he had ignored Mohbad’s message on his Instagram page in 2020, where the late singer expressed his admiration for Rema’s song “Peace Of Mind.” Rema explained that he hadn’t seen the message until after Mohbad’s death and that it was now too late to reply.
This revelation sparked criticism from some who felt that Rema’s decision to share this information was insensitive or inappropriate given the circumstances of Mohbad’s passing. It also raised discussions about the importance of communication and expressing appreciation for others while they are still alive.
