Afrobeats sensation Rema and British-Nigerian Hollywood star Damson Idris have been named among the nominees for the 2026 “Most Handsome Man Alive” crown by Netizens’ Choice Magazine.
The pair join a star-studded shortlist of global heart-throbs, with fans already flooding social media to campaign for their favourites in what is shaping up to be a fiercely contested popularity race.
Rema, 25, has risen from Lagos hitmaker to global chart-topper, propelled by the record-breaking success of his smash hit “Calm Down.” The Afro-rave pioneer, signed to Mavin Records, has become one of Nigeria’s most recognisable music exports — and now, admirers say, a style icon in his own right.
Meanwhile, Damson Idris, 34, has built an impressive acting résumé in both British and American productions, earning international acclaim and a growing legion of fans drawn to both his screen presence and polished red-carpet appearances.
Netizens’ Choice Magazine says the annual honour celebrates male celebrities who command global admiration not only for their professional achievements but also for their charisma and public appeal.
With voting expected to intensify in the coming weeks, supporters of both stars have taken to X and Instagram to rally momentum — turning the nomination into a cross-continental fan showdown.
