Popular Afrobeat singer, Divine Ikubor, also known as Rema, has stated how he made his first million at the age of 17 and why he had given his mother his first profit.
The singer made the revelation in a recent interview with Z100 New York.
Rema said he had no need for the money or to ride a huge car at that age so he decided to give his mother who at that time needed the car, money the most.
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 doesn’t have a car or my mum has to borrow my keys. You know, I had to put her on first…
“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 his family).
“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.”
