Benin City-born music sensation, Rema, has rapidly risen to become one of Nigeria’s richest and most influential artists, with a net worth of about $9 million as of 2024.
Born on May 1, 2000, in Benin City, Nigeria, Rema, whose real name is Divine Ikubor, hails from a devout Christian family.
His passion for singing and rapping emerged at a young age, continuing through his school years. In 2018, a video of him rapping to a popular song went viral, catching the attention of D’Prince, a renowned musician.

Since then, Rema has soared in the music industry, collaborating with international stars like Selena Gomez and Ice Spice.
His hit song “Calm Down” is nearing 1 billion views on YouTube, cementing his status as one of Africa’s top music stars to watch.
