Rema’s Explosive Homecoming Concert Captivates Benin City
Afrobeats superstar Rema made a spectacular return to his hometown of Benin City, thrilling fans with a sold-out homecoming concert at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium on Friday, August 30. The event, which marked Rema’s first performance in Nigeria, drew thousands of enthusiastic fans, leaving the city buzzing with excitement.
Rema, who had earlier received the Oba of Benin’s blessings, delivered an electrifying show, performing his chart-topping hits to an adoring crowd. The night reached new heights when Mavin Records boss Don Jazzy made a surprise appearance on stage, joined by Crayon and Shallipopi, adding to the concert’s energy.
In a touching gesture, Rema awarded N2 million each to two lucky fans for their portraits of him, further endearing himself to his supporters. However, the night took an unexpected turn when an overexcited fan climbed onto the stage during Rema’s performance of “Ozeba.” Rema reacted by kicking the fan off the stage, adding a dramatic moment to the event.
Despite the brief incident, Rema’s homecoming concert was a monumental success, solidifying his status as one of Nigeria’s top music stars. The event will be remembered for its vibrant atmosphere, unforgettable performances, and Rema’s generosity towards his fans.
