You would recall that previously, Rema’s hair was in long dreads.

According to Rema, “My mind space wasn’t matching my look. However, I look now is a reflection of my mind space. I tend to work inside out. I don’t try to please anyone.”

“2020 was a crazy year and the #EndSars thing was happening in Nigeria due to police brutality. So what will help me make a difference?”

He said that a lot of celebrities were already tweeting about it and he didn’t just want to do just that.

He decided to cut his dreads to make a statement. “I passed the message with my caption. I said ‘if you have dreads that doesn’t mean you are a criminal.’ The police in Nigeria call you a fraudster because of how good you look. I have experienced police brutality in Benin and Lagos.”

Rema believed that he passed the #EndSars message more articulately by cutting his hair. It was an interesting way to show solidarity and lend support to the cause.
