Rema reflects on first time earning over 50 million Nigerian naira: “I was not freaked”

The Afrobeat star revealed how he chose to stay calm and focused after hitting a major financial milestone.

Afrobeat sensation Rema has revealed that his reaction to earning his first N50 million was far from the typical exuberance expected of such an achievement. 

In an interview with Breakfast Club, the singer shared how he handled the moment thoughtfully, choosing not to be overly excited.

"When I made my first 50 million I was not freaked. I got my mum a car and I bought instruments for the church," Rema explained during the interview. This calm and grounded response reflects his desire to give back to those who have supported him throughout his journey.

Rather than splurging, Rema decided to use the money to show gratitude, purchasing a car for his mother and donating musical instruments to a church. His decision highlights his commitment to acknowledging the importance of family and faith, even in the face of major success.

The singer’s approach stands out in the music industry, where first-time success is often met with lavish spending. For Rema, the moment was an opportunity to reflect on what truly matters, and his actions speak volumes about his values and priorities.
