Nigerian celebrities and fans traveling all the way to London for the show that
can described as yet another celebration of Afrobeats, showcasing the genre’s
energy, diversity, and global appeal.
Rema joined other award-winning Nigerian artistes like
Wizkid, Davido, Burna Boy, and Asake who have already sold the arena.
Performing at the iconic arena, Rema opened his act by
performing his latest hit, “DND” as he made a dramatic entrance on a stationary
horse, wearing a mask and black ensemble.
He then progressed into a melodic performance of “Iron Man”
with a thrilling spectacle of Indian dance choreographers on either side of
him.
The “Calm Down” crooner went on to perform his hits like
“Dirty”, “Ginger Me”, “Addicted”, “Why”, “Dimension”, “Soundgasm”, “Fame”,
“HOV”, “Trouble Maker”, “Lady”, “Don’t Leave”, “Dumebi”, “Bounce” and “Charm”,
all from his growing catalogue of songs.
One of the highlights of the night was when Rema brought out
his fellow Mavin Records signees, Ayra Starr, Crayon, and Magixx, for the
performance of “Won Da Mo.”
The singer wrapped up the night with a performance of his
smash hit “Calm Down”, with over 38,000 people tuned in to watch the YouTube
live stream.
Earlier, Rema expressed his gratitude to fellow artist Burna
Boy for his support and inspiration, before going on stage.
“Before I get on stage, I want to say a big thank you to
@burnaboy for bringing me on stage 2 years ago,” Rema wrote. “Today it’s my
turn to conquer that same stage and I wish you were here to share this moment
with me. Regardless, I’m grateful for the motivation,” he tweeted.
Rema’s message highlights the deep admiration and respect he
holds for Burna Boy, who has been a pioneer in the Afrobeats genre and a source
of inspiration for many aspiring artists.
Two years ago, Burna Boy invited Rema to perform on stage
during his own concert at the O2 Arena, a significant moment that undoubtedly
fueled Rema’s own aspirations to perform at the same venue.
Rema’s tribute to Burna Boy is a testament to the
camaraderie and mutual respect that exists within the Afrobeats community.
