Afrobeats sensation Divine Ikubor, popularly known as Rema, has made a triumphant return to his hometown of Benin, Edo State, ahead of his much-anticipated homecoming concert. The young star’s return has generated a buzz of excitement among fans and the local community, eager to witness the Prince of Afrobeats perform on home soil.
Rema’s record label, Mavin Records, took to X (formerly known as Twitter) on Tuesday to share the news of his arrival with a captivating video. The post was accompanied by the enthusiastic caption: “Benin, your illustrious son; The Prince of Afrobeats – Rema is Home!”
Rema’s journey to stardom began in 2018 with a viral freestyle on Instagram, where he skillfully remixed D’Prince’s track “Gucci Gang.” This caught the attention of music lovers and industry insiders alike. Officially launching his career in 2019 with the release of his debut single, “Dumebi,” Rema quickly became a household name, both in Nigeria and internationally. His unique sound, blending Afrobeats with elements of trap and pop, has earned him a dedicated fanbase and numerous accolades.
The homecoming concert, set to take place on August 30 at the iconic Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, has been eagerly awaited by fans. The “Ozeba” crooner first announced the event in July, sparking widespread excitement. This concert marks a significant moment for Rema, as he reconnects with his roots and delivers a performance that promises to be both memorable and heartfelt.
This event also comes after a previous attempt by Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki to host Rema in December 2023, which was unfortunately postponed due to health concerns. Now, with the date set and anticipation at an all-time high, Rema’s return to Benin is poised to be a defining moment in his career.
Fans and music enthusiasts alike are encouraged to stay tuned for more updates on this monumental event.
