Rema, the afrobeats sensation, will perform his first show at London’s 20,000-capacity O2 Arena on November 14, 2023.
The popular musician from Nigeria who turned 23 on May 1st announced this on his Twitter page.
He plans to sell out the O2 Arena like his Afrobeats forebears Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy did.
The singer of “Calm Down” is definitely not relaxing. He has announced a Rema Calm Down India Tour, playing to his enormous fan following there.
Between May 12 and May 14, he will headline the tour and give performances in a number of cities.
In a recent interview with i-D Magazine he talked about changing the world’s perspective of African music,
“I see myself as the bridge to take African music to the whole world. I changed the sound. I changed the perspective. The template is mine.”
Relationship in this generation is all about financial gains – Rema
Divine Ikubor, popularly known as Rema, a Nigerian singer, believes that many relationships in this generation are centered on making money.
This claim was made by the young, gifted singer in a recent interview with the podcast i-D Meets.
The line “love is not a source of income” from his debut album “Rave & Roses” is Rema’s favorite because it is based on personal experience.
The singer continued by saying that he couldn’t define love because everyone must experience it for themselves.
In his words:
“My favourite lyric in my album [is] ‘Love is not a source of income’. It came from my actual experience. A lot of relationships in our new generation is just really all about the gains.
“It’s painful that I can’t really define love. You’ve to live your own version. I have not lived my version. I’m waiting for it though.”
