Multi platinum selling Nigerian artist and trailblazer, Divine Ikubor known as Rema, has etched his name in history as one of the youngest headliners at the iconic O2 Arena in London.
The music prodigy, currently hailed as the hottest artist in Africa, has achieved yet another milestone by selling out the 20,000-seated capacity venue for his upcoming show on Tuesday, 14th November 2023.
Rema’s announcement in May about the must-see event was met with immense excitement from fans eagerly anticipating a stellar performance in support of his debut studio album, ‘Rave & Roses.’
The 22-track album showcases the artist’s versatility and features collaborations with renowned artists such as 6lack, Chris Brown, AJ Tracey, Yseult, and Selena Gomez.
‘Reave & Roses’ reached unprecedented heights, becoming the first African album in history to surpass 1 billion streams on Spotify. The global hit single, ‘Calm Down,’ featuring Selena Gomez, played a pivotal role in this success.
The song not only secured a Guinness World Record for topping the MENA chart but also peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and spent over a year on the chart.
The November showcase at the O2 Arena follows Rema’s sensational performances at the O2 Brixton Sold Out Show, marking his triumphant return to the London stage.
Rema continues to make waves globally, leaving an indelible mark on the music scene and solidifying his status as an international music star.
