Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Divine Ikubor, better known as **Rema**, has shared an candid glimpse into his personal preparation routine before hitting the stage, blending spiritual grounding with personal habits to deliver electrifying performances.
In a recent interview with *Dazed* magazine conducted on the sidelines of Milan Fashion Week—where the “Calm Down” hitmaker walked the runway for Diesel—Rema revealed his pre-performance ritual that helps him get into the right mindset for live shows.
When asked about how he prepares, Rema explained:
**“A little Tequila, a little cigarette, pray, tap in with the team and make sure everything is on cue.”**
The 25-year-old artist emphasized the mental and physical demands of performing live, noting that breathwork is a key priority to sustain energy throughout his high-energy sets. While he described smoking cigarettes as his biggest vice, Rema highlighted the importance of balancing relaxation, focus, and spiritual connection before stepping in front of thousands of fans.
Rema’s openness about his routine reflects his signature authenticity, which has endeared him to millions worldwide. From sold-out global tours to chart-topping collaborations, the Mavin Records signee continues to push boundaries in Afrobeats while staying true to his personal process.
This revelation has sparked widespread conversation among fans and industry observers, underscoring the diverse ways artists prepare to deliver unforgettable live experiences.
