Afrobeats star, Rema donates N105m to Christ Embassy church in Benin

Rema, the Afrobeats sensation Divine Ikubor, made a generous donation of N105 million to a Christ Embassy church in Benin, Edo State, on Sunday.

The donation took place during a Sunday service, where Rema expressed his gratitude to the church for its unwavering support and spiritual guidance.

In a now-viral video, Rema said, “I’m not here to seek accolades or glory for myself. I’m here to give God the glory. I believe it’s important to give back because the church has embraced me, prayed for me, and kept me spiritually grounded.”

He announced his donations, stating, “First, I pledge N40 million towards the church’s infrastructure. I also pledge N20 million to Rhapsody of Realities. Since I came from the teens’ church, I want to contribute N25 million towards its infrastructure as well. Additionally, I pledge N20 million to support widows in the church today.”

Rema also shared how the church had supported his family during a difficult time following his father’s passing.

He recalled, “When I was eight years old and lost my dad, we felt lost and abandoned. Everything we had was taken from us, and we felt very alone. I remember that Pastor Joy and Pastor Thomas, the pastors of this church, opened a shop for my mum, and that shop is what she used to take care of us.”
