A Nigerian man referred to as ‘Tech bro’ claims that Nigerian singer Rema was a former Yahoo boy who transitioned to a music career after buying his mother a car in 2017 with the money he earned through fraudulent means. The man alleges that Rema, at 17, had acquired land and other possessions through illegal activities, but ultimately chose music over continuing with fraudulent activities. Social media reactions vary, with some questioning the difference between illegal and legal activities, while others suggest legal alternatives for those considering illegal behavior. Some also caution that the claims against Rema could be considered libel.
