Nigerian singer, Divine Ikubor, popularly known as Rema, shuts down his “Ravage Uprising” 02 Arena show in London on November 14, 2023.
The sold-out show of 20,000 capacity saw the likes of 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.
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
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.
