Rema Tries His Hands At Football But Disappoints The Fans By Failing To Score An Easy Penalty Kick
The Afro-rave King has emphasized to his global fan base why he was never a professional football player.
Undoubtedly, Divine Ikubor, better known by his stage name Rema, is one of the most successful Afrobeats singers of the digital era and has left his mark on Nigerian music history. With hit songs like “Calm Down,” “Dumebi,” and “Charm” that have reached the top of the charts, the 23-year-old singer has a large global fan base.
But lately, a video that showed off Rema’s skill—or lack thereof—on the football field went viral online, throwing him into an unanticipated limelight. Rema, the first and only Nigerian performer at the Ballon d’Or Awards, chose to show off his football abilities in front of the crown prince of Benin Kingdom and a few pals. He had no idea that this would become more of a comedic than a glorious event.
Rema took a penalty kick in the video, which has now gone viral, hoping to show off his set-piece skills. But then there was a hilarious moment as Rema wildly missed the goal, sending the ball to the far left hand side of the goalpost. Social media users around were drawn to the video of this error as soon as it got viral.
