Rema Dethrones Burna, Wizkid & Davido as Most-Streamed Nigerian Artist on YouTube in 2025

Afrobeats sensation Divine Ikubor, popularly known as Rema, has shattered records to become the most-streamed Nigerian artist on YouTube in the first quarter of 2025, overtaking industry heavyweights like Burna Boy, Davido, and Wizkid.

This milestone was largely powered by his global smash hit Calm Down, which soared past 1 billion views on YouTube, cementing its place as a worldwide anthem and raising the bar for Nigerian music globally.
