In a candid chat with GRM, Rema, 24, said he wants to ā€œfeel young again.ā€

He said he recently started smoking cigarettes in a bid to feel ā€œfree and break some rules again.ā€

Rema lamented that despite being an adult before deciding to smoke, people still criticise his decision because heā€™s a celebrity.

He said, ā€œI really wanted to feel like a child againā€¦ I feel like I grew up too fast. Life switched up on me crazy when I lost my dad and my brother. The weight was just on my shoulder and forced me to sell my childhood to provide for my family.

ā€œGod willing, everything happened well, it happened fast. And with fast fame, comes fast maturity. Itā€™s just like never ending level of seriousness. So much adults. So much meetings. I didnā€™t even rolled with my age mates.

ā€œSo this project [ā€˜HeIsā€™], I just want to be a child. And itā€™s coming out. Itā€™s not me forcing it out. It just sparked in my spirit. I just want to feel young again. I just to be a rebel. You know, kids make mistakes and itā€™s acceptable. But when youā€™re a teenager and you make the same mistake your peers would make, everyone will come for you just because youā€™re in the spotlight.

ā€œI know people who smoked a cigarette when they were 13 and Iā€™m 24 smoking a cigarette because I just want to feel free and break some rules. All my life just feel so planned and scheduled. I just got tired.ā€
