Divine Ikubor, better known by his stage name Rema, is a famous singer from Nigeria who claims to have made his first million Naira at the age of 17.
The Dumebi singer revealed that he gave his mother the entire sum of money in a recent interview with Z100 New York.
Rema gave justifications, saying that since his mother didn’t have a car, she was the one who needed it the most and that it wasn’t appropriate for him to ride in cars.
The Mavins singer added that he prioritizes his mother first. He is grateful to be able to provide for his family as that is his biggest achievement.
He said, “The person who I knew needed it more was my mum. So, I handed everything I made to her. I know it was cool to drive around the city as a 17-year-old in a cool whip. But I can’t drive a cool whip when my mum didn’t have a car or my mum has to borrow my keys. You know, I had to put her on first.
“Passing all of that to her, whatever investment she makes… I made my first million naira at 17 but I made more than a million. But it’s cool to be in that stage to be able to provide for your family”
He added, “Someone created an opportunity for me to bless the world this much. So, I can’t imagine how much the people I helped are going to bless the world. You know, I go hard not just for myself. I go hard for them. As doors open for me, I wanna open doors for them”.
