KAMPALA, UGANDA | NOW THEN DIGITAL — Divine Ikubor, a Nigerian singer whose stage name is Rema, has achieved the milestone of reaching 1 billion streams across all credits on the Spotify platform.

  • In the last 24 hours, Nigerian Afrobeats singer Divine Ikubor, better known as Rema, has passed one billion streams on Spotify across all the credits in his catalogue.
  • In addition, Rema also became an official member of Boomplay’s Golden Club earlier this year after crossing 100 million streams on the platform.
  • Temilade Openiyi aka Tems, who achieved global fame as a featured artist on Wizkid’s chart-topping single ‘Essence’, also reached 1 billion Spotify streams last month.

With his Spotify feat, the Mavin Records singer joins the ranks of Burna Boy, Wizkid, CKay, and Davido, among others.
