Rema出生于尼日利亚贝宁城一个关系密切的基督教家庭。他的父亲Justice Ikubor于2008年去世，当时Rema只有8岁。七年后，他的哥哥也去世了。这些损失迫使Rema迅速成长，他承担起支持母亲和两个幸存姐妹的责任。他曾一度在加纳工作以赚取家用，展现了非凡的韧性。他在埃多州的Ighile Group of Schools完成了小学和中学教育。2022年1月，他进入拉各斯大学学习，以尊重母亲的意愿。他的音乐之旅始于教堂，他小时候在那里唱歌。中学期间，他开始创作说唱和歌曲。11岁时，他就在贝宁积极创作音乐，最初是教堂团体中的说唱歌手。后来他试图让自己的声音符合商业趋势，但最终在社交媒体上找到了自己的真实声音，在那里他分享免费歌词并参与音乐挑战以建立受众。他最初是Daft Punk和摇滚音乐的粉丝，后来转向说唱和Afrobeats。2018年，Rema在社交媒体上发布了一段1分钟的即兴说唱视频，翻唱了D'Prince的《Gucci Gang》。这段视频引起了D'Prince的注意，并于2019年与Jonzing World签订了唱片合约。这标志着他专业音乐生涯的正式开始。[编辑]

Rema presides over a digital movement he has christened The Revival, a moniker that extends from his self-styled title of President to the identity of his supporters. While Western pop cultures often adopt distinct collective nouns, Rema's audience, widely recognized as the Ravers, organizes around this shared branding rather than a separate nickname. Their engagement is defined by high-volume streaming activity and direct social media interaction, fueling the global ascent of tracks like Calm Down and recent releases such as Tea. This dedicated following operates with a cohesion that mirrors organized campaigns, driving the artist's metrics across platforms where he commands millions of followers.

The scale of this influence is quantified by the iFANN Global Fame Rankings, which place Rema at the 14th most famous person in Nigeria, a position he maintains from the previous cycle. His standing is further cemented as the 7th most famous person from Nigeria and the 61st most famous person in Africa, according to the same authoritative source. Within his specific musical domain, he ranks as the 4th most famous person in Afrobeats, reflecting his dominance in a genre he helped pioneer. These placements track global attention across media coverage, consumption patterns, and cultural resonance worldwide without relying on transient search spikes.[编辑]

Before finding success in rap and Afrobeats, Rema was an avid listener of Daft Punk and rock music. He personally coined and created the Afrorave subgenre to describe his fusion of traditional African rhythms with futuristic production. Following the tragic deaths of his father and brother, he moved to Ghana to work and support his family, though his mother insisted he eventually attend university despite his rising career. Standing 5 ft 9 in (175 cm) tall with a slim build, he once noted regarding his early struggles, They told me if I want to make it to Lagos, I have to sound commercial. I tried to vibe to it but I wasn't really good at it. A poignant reflection on his brother's death reads, That day, he vowed to make something of himself. He appeared on the cover of The Native magazine in 2019 under the headline Meet Rema, The Kid From Benin With The World At His Feet.

A foundational legend of his career involves the accidental nature of his discovery; after uploading a one-minute freestyle video in 2018, he was signed to Mavin Records, bypassing traditional gatekeepers. Another iconic moment centers on Calm Down, which became the first Afrobeats track to reach 1 billion Spotify streams, marking a definitive shift for the genre into mainstream Western culture. In 2026, the release of Tea and its accompanying visual featuring Roomies generated immediate viral momentum, reinforcing his status as a living legend whose digital ascent continues to define modern Afrobeats lore.[编辑]

Rema出生于Justice Ikubor和Ikubor夫人。他有两个姐妹和一个已故的兄弟。他的父亲于2008年去世，哥哥大约在2015年去世。Rema曾谈到这些损失如何塑造了他，并激励他取得成功。他与母亲和兄弟姐妹关系密切。他认同自己是基督徒，来自埃多部落，具体是Orhionmwon地方政府区的Igbanke。尽管音乐事业成功，他的母亲仍坚持让他上大学，他于2022年1月进入拉各斯大学学习。[编辑]

Rema被D'Prince发掘，并签约至Jonzing World（Mavin Records的子公司）。他与Selena Gomez合作了《Calm Down》混音版。他还与同厂牌艺人Ayra Starr一同担任百事可乐品牌大使。美国前总统巴拉克·奥巴马将他的歌曲《Iron Man》列入夏季播放列表。[编辑]

截至2026年，Rema的恋爱关系没有公开记录。他保持个人生活私密，可信来源中没有确认的公开恋情、订婚、婚姻或子女。多篇传记和采访指出他未公开谈论约会，且没有经过多家媒体证实的高调恋情或伴侣关系。据报道，Rema目前单身，专注于音乐事业。[编辑]

As things stand in 2026, iFANN currently estimates Rema's net worth at $5 Million. His income derives primarily from music sales, streaming royalties, and live performances, having headlined major tours and performed at festivals globally. He has secured endorsement deals, including a partnership with Pepsi alongside Ayra Starr in 2021. His music catalog, particularly the global hit Calm Down, continues to generate significant revenue as it became the first Afrobeats track to reach 1 billion Spotify streams. He has invested in real estate and maintains a residence in Lagos, Nigeria. Additional earnings flow from publishing and catalog revenue through Mavin/Jonzing World/Interscope. While still early in his career, Rema's financial standing has grown steadily since his debut in 2019, with projections suggesting further increases as he expands his brand and international reach.[编辑]

Rema赢得了多项奖项，包括MTV音乐录影带大奖和iHeartRadio荣誉，以表彰他对全球音乐的影响。他的作品因融合Afrobeats与流行和陷阱音乐元素而受到赞誉。[编辑]
