Nigerian entertainer and nightlife influencer Yhemo Lee has marked International Women’s Day with a lavish gift for his mother: a brand-new white Lexus, reportedly worth over ₦60 million. The heartwarming moment was shared on his Snapchat story, quickly catching the attention of social media users.
The gift comes after his mother expressed her admiration for the vehicle, telling him she had always loved the white Lexus. Yhemo Lee shared the chat as part of the announcement, highlighting both her wish and his willingness to fulfil it. This marks the fourth car he has bought for his mother, continuing a pattern of celebrating her in meaningful ways.
Born Idowu Adeyemi in 1993, Yhemo Lee rose to prominence with his 2020 single Mon Cheri, featuring Chinko Ekun and Asake, and has since expanded into acting, appearing in productions such as Gangs of Lagos and Alakada: Bad and Boujee. Today, he is best known as one of Lagos’s top nightlife influencers, with his presence at an event often seen as a mark of prestige.
Yhemo Lee’s gesture follows a growing trend among Nigerian celebrities publicly honouring their parents through milestone gifts, a reflection of both personal gratitude and markers of success. Fellow entertainer Asake recently made headlines for buying cars for both his father and mother, highlighting how entertainers who rise from humble beginnings often celebrate their families in visible ways.
