Who is Rema?
Rema is a young Nigerian singer, most probably the youngest celebrity
musician at the moment. He is currently signed to Jonzing records, a
subsidiary of Marvin records owned by D-Prince, the younger brother to
popularly music producer, Don Jazzy. Rema is well known for his track
“Dumebi†and is thought by many to be the next big thing in the
music industry. No doubt, the Nigerian music industry is at its most
productive point in history with the turnout of many young talents.
One cannot help but notice Rema, a very talented boy with a unique
sound.

Rema’s profile, background, and family
The real name of Rema is Divine Ikubor. Divine was born in 2001 in
Benin City, Edo State (this makes him 19 years old). Although not much
is known about his childhood, we know that the talented lad was born
and grew up in Benin city. Rema was born into a Christian family in
Benin City, Edo State. He also grew up singing and rapping while in
secondary school. It was still in Benin City that Rema completed both
his primary and secondary school education and obtained both his First
School Leaving Certificate and West African Senior School Certificate.
Rema is reported to have come from a low-income family where he had to
work hard in order to take care of his mother after the death of his
father and brother within short intervals. It is said that Rema had to
travel to Ghana to work on a beach so he could buy a car for his
mother. Rema is still very young and has hit fame quite early, one
wonders if he will be willing to further his education to tertiary
level, we can only wait and see.
Nigeria is filled with many talents, especially in the Nigerian music
industry, it is not surprising to find many young stars, putting in
their best and hoping the spotlight falls on them. This is because of
how lucrative the Nigerian music industry has become over the years.
Also, singers are accorded much respect in Nigerian society. However,
it is still a marvel to see a young lad like Rema state that his
dreams are to become an A-list artiste and compete with musicians who
have been in the industry for a longer time.
Introduction to Marvin Records
In December 2018, popular singer, Reekado Banks left Marvin Records.
Rema was then added to the well-respected label. Marvin records can
boast of many other popular acts such as Tiwa Savage (who would later
leave), Korede Bello, Dija, Dr. Sid, D’Prince, Poe, Johnny Drille.
Having Rema on the list was indeed a big feat. D’Prince described
Rema has a Craftman whose work needed to be heard by the whole world.
Rema was discovered by D’Prince and wrote songs for the record for a
while until D’Prince introduced the young boy to his brother, Don
Jazzy. It was Don Jazzy who then changed his name from Rhema to Rema.
On the 22nd of 22, 2019, Rema was announced as the latest addition to
Mavin Records where he was referred to as the future of Afrobeats.
Although, fingers are crossed, considering that it’s too early to be
sure how far he can go since he is new into the industry and is a
young talent. After Rema signed a record deal with Jonzing World, in
2019, he released his debut EP Rema. As is expected of Marvins record,
the record label promoted Rema’s music well and the song peaked at
number 1 on Apple Music Nigeria.

Rema’s Net worth
Rema’s net worth is largely hidden to the general public by his
record label but one can make estimations based on speculations. Some
estimate Rema’s net worth to be about $500,000.
Many argue that this is a rather huge sum for someone who has just
released only four songs, but one should not forget that Rema gets his
money from his music which has gained huge recognition and through
live performances.
Fame and Criticism
Rema released his first hit single “Iron Man†which not only
trended in Nigeria but in the whole world. Iron Man was on the list of
Barrack Obama’s summer list song which is very impressive for an
artist who has just begun his career. Rema has since followed that
with three other tracks, and the young lad assures his fans of many
more coming. The video of his song, Dumebi also caused a rave,
although some criticized it for lack of plot. Some other songs by Rema
are:Corny
Dumebi
Why
Iron Man

Rema- Awards and Recognition
Much to the amazement of many, Rema emerged the winner of the Headies
2019 “Next Rated†Award. It came as a huge surprise to many
because the category was packed with other star artists like Fireboy
and Zlatan Ibile. On 12 January 2020, Rema received the Soundcity MVP
for the best new artist. Check out a list of Rema’s songs below:
