Richard Mofe-Damijo (RMD) is the definition of timeless class. Like the Aston Martin DB5 made famous by James Bond, he embodies suave sophistication and eternal style. He doesn’t need to rev his engine to command attention; his presence alone does the job. The Alfa Romeo Vintage suits him too — a nod to heritage, elegance, and a certain old-school finesse that never goes out of fashion.

Tems doesn’t need noise to make a statement; her aura is enough. Like an Aston Martin Valkyrie she’s sleek, strong, and incredibly powerful beneath the surface.

Portable is chaos on wheels — unpredictable, loud, sometimes messy, but undeniably entertaining. A Jeep Wrangler suits him perfectly: rugged, unfiltered, able to go off-road without warning.

Number one ‘African bad girl’ has “big mummy” energy that demands respect. The Lotus Evija, an electric hypercar with almost mythical status, reflects her rarefied class and power. As one of the fastest cars in the world, symbolises her unmatched dominance in Afrobeats. Tiwa doesn’t compete with the small boys; she laps them effortlessly.

Toke is luxury personified. The Rolls-Royce Phantom isn’t just a car; it’s a lifestyle, a symbol of success and polished taste. Like the Phantom, Toke thrives on elegance, glamor, and visibility.

Nollywood’s “Queen Mother” is sharp, fast-moving, and always ahead of the curve.
