Nigerian international sensation, Divine Ikubor, popularly known as Rema, has sparked conversations on social media with a trending video showcasing his football skills.

The Afro-rave King left fans worldwide entertained and amused, demonstrating why he chose music over football.

In the video, the 23-year-old ‘Calm Down’ crooner was captured on a mini-football pitch alongside the crown prince of Benin Kingdom and a group of friends.

Attempting to impress with his soccer prowess, Rema confidently stepped up to take a penalty kick. However, what followed was not a display of finesse but rather an unexpected moment of hilarity.

After a brief moment of preparation, Rema aimed his shot, only to hilariously miss the open net by a wide margin, much to the amusement of onlookers.

The clip quickly went viral, eliciting a range of reactions from fans, who found humor in Rema’s unexpected mishap on the football pitch.

“The way bro missed an open net, no way,” commented TheGirlBekee.

Etzsylva humorously remarked, “I know ball better than him, but he thinks otherwise.”

Others urged Rema to stick to music, with a user named arike_adey writing, “He should just stick to music, please.”

Meanwhile, some users couldn’t resist adding a touch of comedy to their reactions. “First short guy I know that can’t ball,” joked thisisdinaaaaaa.

IdigohCM humorously quipped, “Seems like Benin people don’t know how to play football?”

Dobi_Dave added, “He probably thought Dumebi was standing there.”
