Bebe Rexha

Bebe Rexha, born Bleta Rexha on August 30, 1989, in Brooklyn, New York, is an American singer and songwriter of Albanian descent who has become one of the most versatile hitmakers in pop music. Growing up in a working-class Albanian-American family in Staten Island, Rexha showed musical talent from a young age, learning trumpet and guitar and winning a songwriting competition as a teenager that earned her a scholarship to work with Grammy-winning producers.

Before becoming a performing artist in her own right, Rexha made her mark as a sought-after songwriter. She co-wrote Eminem and Rihanna’s hit “The Monster,” which reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and earned a Grammy Award for Best Rap/Sung Performance. She also wrote songs for artists like Selena Gomez, Nick Jonas, and Shinee. Her transition to performing began with features on tracks like “Hey Mama” with David Guetta, Nicki Minaj, and Afrojack, and “Me, Myself & I” with G-Eazy, both of which became massive global hits.

Rexha’s debut studio album “Expectations” arrived in 2018 and was a commercial success, featuring the country-pop crossover hit “Meant to Be” with Florida Georgia Line. The song became one of the longest-running number one hits on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, spending 50 weeks at the top. Her follow-up albums “Better Mistakes” (2021) and “Bebe” (2023) further showcased her range across pop, dance, and rock genres.

With an estimated net worth of $10 million in 2026, Rexha has built her wealth through a combination of her performing career, lucrative songwriting royalties, touring revenue, and brand partnerships. She has been an outspoken advocate for body positivity and mental health awareness, using her platform to connect with fans on a personal level beyond music.
