Nigerian Entertainment News: Rema Meets Apala Icon Wasiu Haruna Ishola at Luxury Auto Showroom, Fans Weigh In
Nigerian Afrobeat star, Divine Ikubor, widely recognized as Rema, recently encountered legendary Apala musician, Alhaji Wasiu Haruna Ishola, at a high-end car showroom
A video capturing the moment quickly made the rounds on social media, sparking widespread attention.
In the video, Rema is seen rising to greet the elder music figure as introductions are made. Initially seated, Ishola extended a handshake before getting to his feet to greet Rema more formally. Rema respectfully bowed his head as they exchanged pleasantries. The duo later filmed a brief clip together to mark the occasion.
Photos from the visit showcase the two artists standing together. One image features Ishola holding a phone while Rema stands respectfully at his side, hands clasped in a traditional gesture of respect.
Following the brief exchange, Rema was seen continuing discussions with a representative from the dealership, which both entertainers had visited.
This encounter sparked a flurry of reactions from fans across the Nigerian Entertainment News scene. Many began speculating that the meeting could be a sign of a future musical collaboration, especially as younger artists increasingly explore indigenous sounds like Fuji and Apala in their work.
The online feedback, however, was divided. Some observers argued that Rema could have shown deeper traditional respect by prostrating, a cultural norm in Yoruba communities when greeting elders. Others criticized the singer’s demeanor, claiming he could have displayed greater reverence.
On the other hand, many applauded Alhaji Wasiu Haruna Ishola’s humility, highlighting his choice to rise and personally greet the younger musician despite being a respected elder in the industry.
