Nigerian music sensation Rema, also known as Divine Ikubor, has been confirmed as one of the performers at this year’s much-anticipated BRIT Awards, the most prestigious music awards ceremony in the United Kingdom.
The organizers made the exciting announcement through their official social media channels on Thursday, generating a wave of anticipation and enthusiasm among fans worldwide. Rema’s participation marks a significant moment in his career, as he joins an exclusive list of global talents recognized by the esteemed event.
This historic performance will make Rema the second Nigerian artist to grace the BRIT Awards stage, following in the footsteps of the acclaimed Burna Boy, who captivated audiences at the 2018 edition. The recognition of Nigerian talent underscores the growing influence and impact of African artists on the global music scene.
Additionally, at the 2024 BRIT Awards, Burna Boy and Asake have received nominations in the prestigious International Artist of the Year category, while Rema’s hit track, ‘Calm Down,’ has garnered a nomination for the highly coveted International Song of the Year award.
The upcoming award ceremony is scheduled to take place in London on March 2, 2023, promising an electrifying evening celebrating the best of international and British music talent. As the anticipation builds, Rema’s participation represents a significant milestone for African representation on the global stage.
Despite the incredible achievements of Nigerian artists, it’s worth noting that Nigeria is yet to claim a Brit Award, adding an extra layer of excitement and hope for a groundbreaking win in the near future.
Excitement is reaching fever pitch as fans eagerly await Rema’s performance, and the global spotlight shines ever brighter on the flourishing African music industry.
