Nigerian singer, Divine Ikubor, popularly known as Rema, has revealed that he made his first one million naira at the age of 17.
The Dumebi crooner disclosed this in a recent interview with Z100 New York. He said he gave all the money to his mother.
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].” The 24-year-old singer said his biggest achievement is being able to provide for his family and create opportunities for others.
