Rema and Don Jazzy Flaunt Luxury and Legacy in Afrobeats Triumph

The Afrobeats scene witnessed a moment of pure swagger and significance as Rema, the genre’s global poster child, and Don Jazzy, the legendary producer and Mavin Records founder, posed together in Lagos beside their jaw-dropping luxury vehicles.

Don Jazzy’s sleek Rolls-Royce Cullinan, valued at over ₦1 billion ($600,000), gleamed next to Rema’s custom Bentley Bentayga EWB SUV, a ₦700 million ($420,000) masterpiece. The viral photo, shared across social media and amplified on X, wasn’t just a flex of wealth—it was a powerful symbol of Afrobeats’ global rise and the mentor-protégé bond that has fueled its dominance.

Fans on X erupted, with posts calling it “a legacy moment” and “proof Afrobeats is winning big.”

The Luxury Flex: Symbols of Success The Rolls-Royce Cullinan, Don Jazzy’s latest addition to his enviable car collection, is a testament to his decades-long reign as a music mogul. Purchased in early 2025, the ultra-luxury SUV boasts a 6.75-liter V12 engine and bespoke interiors, embodying the pinnacle of automotive craftsmanship. Rema, ever the trendsetter, countered with his Bentley Bentayga EWB, acquired shortly after his own Rolls-Royce purchase earlier in the year.

The Bentley, customized to reflect his bold persona, complements his growing empire, with reports pegging his net worth at $170 million, while Don Jazzy’s sits at an impressive $295 million. Their casual meet-up, captured in a video where Rema playfully admired Don Jazzy’s Cullinan, showcased not just their wealth but their camaraderie—a rare glimpse into the personal bond behind their professional success.

 

A Legacy Forged in Afrobeats Don Jazzy, often dubbed the “godfather of Afrobeats,” has been a cornerstone of Nigerian music since founding Mo’ Hits Records in 2004 and later Mavin Records in 2012. His knack for spotting and nurturing talent has birthed stars like D’banj, Wande Coal, Tiwa Savage, and, of course, Rema. The 25-year-old “Calm Down” hitmaker, signed to Mavin at 17, represents the new guard, blending Afrobeats with trap, pop, and global influences to conquer charts worldwide.

His 2023 single “Calm Down” (with Selena Gomez) became the first African song to hit one billion Spotify streams, while his sophomore album *HEIS* (2024) solidified his status as a global icon, peaking at No. 2 on the Billboard World Albums chart. Their joint appearance underscores a passing of the torch: Don Jazzy’s production genius and industry savvy laid the foundation for Rema’s meteoric rise. Together, they’ve helped Afrobeats transcend borders, with Nigerian artists now headlining global festivals and collaborating with stars like Beyoncé and Drake.

The photo op, dripping with style and significance, encapsulates their shared journey—from Lagos studios to global stages. As one X user put it, “This is Afrobeats royalty. Don Jazzy and Rema are proof Nigeria runs the sound of the world.” In a single frame, they’ve shown that Afrobeats isn’t just music—it’s a movement, a legacy, and a luxurious triumph. Here’s to more milestones from the Mavin dynasty.
