Rema Biography, Networth & Discovery

Divine Ikubor, widely recognized by his stage name Rema, is a prominent Nigerian singer, songwriter, and rapper, born on May 1, 2000, in Benin City, Edo State. His musical journey began in his secondary school days, where he discovered his passion for music while performing in churches. Rema's career took a significant turn in 2019 when he released his self-titled debut EP, which included the hit single "Dumebi." This track not only topped charts in Nigeria but also captivated audiences worldwide, marking the beginning of his ascent in the music industry.


Rema's signing with Jonzing World, a record label owned by D'Prince and a subsidiary of Mavin Records, propelled him into the spotlight. His distinctive sound, a fusion of Afrobeats, Afrobeat, and hip hop, quickly garnered attention. The success of "Dumebi" led to Rema being featured on former U.S. President Barack Obama's annual summer playlist, further cementing his place in the global music scene.


The year 2022 was a landmark for Rema as he released his debut studio album, Rave & Roses. The album featured collaborations with renowned artists like 6lack, Chris Brown, and AJ Tracey, and it debuted impressively on the Billboard 200 chart. However, it was the single "Calm Down" that catapulted him to international fame. The remix featuring American singer Selena Gomez peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot 100, showcasing Rema's ability to cross cultural boundaries. Notably, "Calm Down" set records, remaining on the Billboard Afrobeats Songs chart for an astonishing 58 weeks.


In 2023, Rema continued to build on his success with the release of the Ravage EP and achieved significant milestones, including over two billion streams on Spotify for Rave & Roses Ultra, making it the first African album to reach this milestone. His influence and appeal have been recognized through numerous awards, including the MTV Video Music Award for Best Afrobeats Video and the Billboard Music Award for Top Afrobeats Song.


Rema's second studio album, Heis, released in July 2024, further illustrates his evolution as an artist, featuring collaborations with popular Nigerian artists and earning him a Grammy nomination for Best Global Music Album. His unique sound and style have not only inspired a dedicated fanbase dubbed the Ravers but have also positioned him as a trailblazer in the Afrobeats genre, showcasing the global appeal of Nigerian music. As Rema continues to innovate and influence, his journey is a testament to the vibrant and dynamic landscape of contemporary African music.
