The Afro-rave King has reminded his fans worldwide why he would have never made it as a footballer.

Afrobeats megastar Divine Ikubor, famously known as Rema, has undoubtedly carved his name in Nigerian music history as one of the most successful artists of the digital age.

With chart-topping hits like “Calm Down”, “Dumebi”, and “Charm” under his belt, the 23-year-old singer has amassed a legion of fans worldwide.

However, Rema recently found himself in a rather unexpected spotlight when a video surfaced online showcasing his prowess, or lack thereof, on the football field.

In the company of the crown prince of Benin Kingdom and a group of friends, Rema, the first and only Nigerian to ever perform at the Ballon d’Or Awards, decided to showcase his footballing skills.

Little did he know, this would turn into a moment of comedy rather than glory.

The video of this blunder quickly went viral, capturing the attention of social media users far and wide.

Reactions poured in from fans on platforms like X (formerly known as Twitter), with many expressing their amusement at Rema's unexpected misstep on the football pitch.
