That’s how Rema joined Jonzing World, a subsidiary of Mavin Records, in 2019. His song “Iron Man” became a hit and even made it to Barack Obama’s playlist. Since then, Rema has become a big deal in the music world, making lots of money and even collaborating with famous and international singers like Selena Gomez and Ice Spice, amongst others.

Back in 2017, before Rema became famous, he surprised his mom with a car as a gift. People on social media were curious how a 17-year-old could afford such a lavish present. The car he gave her was an RX 350, known for its luxurious interior and smooth driving, and this SUV has smooth, car-like handling as well. The RX 350’s fuel economy is outstanding, but if 18/24 mpg city/highway in all-wheel-drive models isn’t enough, the RX is available as a hybrid as well.

He met the club members at Eko Atlantic in Lagos, where they had fun racing and drifting. Rema even got to ride in the famous “Thanos,” a BMW M4, which he nicknamed Godzilla after experiencing its power with the club’s new Vice President, Theo Samouris, at the wheel.4. 2008 Mercedes-Benz Gwagon Rema supposedly spent 95 million naira on a G-Wagon, as seen in a viral video.
