Popular nightlife personality and entertainer, Yhemo Lee, has taken fans down memory lane with an emotional and humorous story about his first car — a Mercedes-Benz that, according to him, nearly ended his life.
In a recent interview, the influencer revealed that he started his car journey with a sleek black Benz with cream interior and an impressive sound system.
But behind the luxury façade was a dangerous challenge. Yhemo Lee recalled how the vehicle’s steering rack was so bad that driving became a workout session.

He said:
“It was good, it had a cream interior, black exterior and fantastic sound system. But I dealt with a bad steering rack. See this small bicep that I have? It was the steering that gave me. I used to carry black oil in my car to soften the steering.”
He described how difficult it was to steer the vehicle, often feeling like the car had a mind of its own.
The experience, though risky and physically draining, became a story of resilience that marked the beginning of his growth in life and career.
Fast forward to today, Yhemo Lee is in a completely different league.
The nightlife influencer now owns a Mercedes-Benz GLE 53 Coupé, which he proudly bought for a staggering ₦185 million. He admitted that while prices may have changed, that remains his most expensive car yet.
Still not done chasing his automotive dreams, the singer said he has his eyes set on a 2025 Benz G63 and a Rolls-Royce Cullinan Black Badge.
According to him,
“I can afford it if I liquidate some of my assets.”
In a heartwarming twist, Yhemo Lee revealed that while his wife admired his luxurious dashboard and initially wanted a similar vehicle, he chose a more spacious and family-friendly GLE 350 AMG3 for her, prioritising comfort for her and their son.
