Ace Nigerian rapper, Remilekun Abdulkalid Safaru, better known as Reminisce, has revealed that he had featured in another movie which will be released later this year.
The rapper also revealed that he will put out his fifth album ahead of his December concert.
He said this during an interview when he featured on the Rubbin Minds, a show hosted by Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, a TV host.
However, the music star who had his movie debut in ‘King of Boys’ (KOB), didn’t reveal the title of the forthcoming movie but said, it is centered around his person.
Reminisce said “I get approached a lot now for movies. But I make sure I bill appropriately, considering where I’m coming from as a musician. Beyond fees, I tend to also look at the script and see if it’s something I want to do.”
“Apart from KOB, I did another that will be out this year. That one is centered around my person and name. I liked the script. But the billing is important. I have three children and school fees have to be paid, you know.
“I run a football agency now, doing ads and all that. It’s like a proper sports agency. It’s the same way music and advertising works. People don’t take musicians seriously. But imagine if I’m identified as a CEO of an agency.
“I had to appoint someone close to me. He has been doing the groundwork. I appointed him CEO. But we run it together. We’ve done stuff with big names. I have my football show on the side, so I’m not idle.
“I’m not scouting players. I’ve done that in the past, six years ago. I ran an amateur football club. It’s a tough job. You get disappointed by a lot of people, spend a lot of money, yet you can get just one breakthrough player.”
Reminisce also revealed that he is planning to release his fifth album and also organizes his concert in December.
According to him, he said his next body of work would be released after his collaborative songs with Buju and Simi are put out in the first quarter of the year, adding that a concert is meant to follow towards the end of 2022.
In his explanation, he said “With all that I do, the music hasn’t suffered. I have my audience and I know how to serve them. I promised them an album last year my many engagements made me not release it. It has been ready all this while.”
“We’re going off with the first [song] in three days. Next month, there’s one with Buju. In March, there’s one with Simi. Next, the album comes out. I’ve told you all, so let me rest on Instagram. You’ll get a lot of music this year.
“I’m in the mood and you’ll get a concert as well. From the artwork to the content, I like my music projects to be themed. In the album, I talk about how my experiences with people and how the family made me rearrange priorities.
“I want my fans to grow along with me. They’re older as well. I want them to be able to relate to what I sing about. I don’t dress the same anymore. Where I am at the moment, I want to make that reflect in my music.
Reminisce had released four albums to his name, including ‘Book of Rap Stories’ (2012), ‘Alaga Mobile (2013), ‘Baba Hafusa’ (2015), and ‘El-Hadj’ (2016).
