Taking the stage at the iconic 02 Arena, Rema joined the ranks of acclaimed Nigerian artists such as Wizkid, Davido, Burna Boy, and Asake who have previously sold out the venue.

Opening his performance with the latest hit, “DND,” Rema made a grand entrance astride a stationary horse, adorned in a mask and stylish black ensemble.

The “Calm Down” artist continued to enthrall the audience with a lineup of his hits, including “Dirty,” “Ginger Me,” “Addicted,” “Why,” “Dimension,” “Soundgasm,” “Fame,” “HOV,” “Trouble Maker,” “Lady,” “Don’t Leave,” “Dumebi,” “Bounce,” and “Charm,” showcasing the diversity of his expanding repertoire.

Bringing the night to a crescendo, Rema concluded with a rendition of his smash hit “Calm Down,” captivating an online audience of over 38,000 who tuned in to witness the spectacle via the YouTube live stream.

Prior to his performance, Rema took a moment to express his appreciation to fellow artist Burna Boy, recognizing the support and inspiration he received from the accomplished musician.

He tweeted, “Before I get on stage, I want to say a big thank you to @burnaboy for bringing me on stage 2 years ago.

“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 added.

Recall that a pivotal moment in Rema’s journey occurred two years ago when Burna Boy invited him to share the stage during his O2 Arena concert.

This significant experience undoubtedly fueled Rema’s aspirations to perform at the same venue, marking a meaningful chapter in his artistic aspirations.
