The sold-out event, hosting 20,000 attendees, witnessed a convergence of Nigerian celebrities and fans who traveled to London for a night celebrating the vibrant energy, diversity, and global appeal of Afrobeats.
Rema’s performance kicked off with a grand entrance on a stationary horse, masked and clad in black, as he opened with his latest hit, ‘DND.’ The iconic arena witnessed a melodic spectacle with Indian dance choreographers accompanying his rendition of ‘Iron Man.’
The ‘Calm Down’ crooner continued to captivate the audience with a repertoire of hits including ‘Dirty,’ ‘Ginger Me,’ ‘Addicted,’ ‘Why,’ ‘Dimension,’ ‘Soundgasm,’ ‘Fame,’ ‘HOV,’ ‘Trouble Maker,’ ‘Lady,’ ‘Don’t Leave,’ ‘Dumebi,’ ‘Bounce,’ and ‘Charm.’ In a standout moment, Rema brought fellow Mavin Records signees Ayra Starr, Crayon, and Magixx on stage for a dynamic performance of ‘Won Da Mo.’

Expressing gratitude, he thanked Burna Boy for the inspiration and motivation, reflecting on their shared journey from Burna Boy’s stage to Rema’s triumphant moment at the O2 Arena.
