Rema Comments on $3M Rumor for Ambani Wedding Performance
Nigerian afrobeats sensation Rema has addressed the speculation surrounding his performance at the high-profile wedding of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant, where it was rumored he received $3 million.
The wedding, which took place on July 12 at the Jio World Centre in Mumbai, saw Rema perform his popular hit “Calm Down.”
Reports by Hindustan Times suggested that Rema was paid $3 million for his appearance, a figure that sparked significant buzz. In a recent interview with GRM, Rema was asked to confirm these reports.
He responded with a chuckle, stating, “Hehehe. That’s what I can say, to be honest. Money-wise, but overall, it was a great treatment. It was beautiful.”
Rema went on to express his deep appreciation for the experience and for India. He noted, “I love India. India loves me, too.
It’s amazing to see how things have turned around from the criticism I faced. If I had listened to the trolls and changed my sound, I might not have seen this success.”
He also highlighted his groundbreaking role in the afrobeats genre, mentioning, “It’s not just about the wedding. It’s about the reception everywhere I go.
I’m possibly the first afrobeats artist to tour India, and maybe even the first African artist to do so. The response has been overwhelming, even more intense than the reception I receive in Nigeria.”
Rema’s comments reflect not just his excitement about his success but also his gratitude for the opportunities and recognition he has gained, underscoring his growing influence in the global music scene.
Tiwa Savage has opened up about how her pregnancy changed her singing voice. Speaking during a chat on Afrobeats Intelligence, the singer revealed that carrying her baby made it hard for her to hit certain notes, forcing her to adjust some songs on her album R.E.D.
“I was pregnant when I recorded R.E.D. I’d be in the studio, heavily pregnant, crying sometimes. It wasn’t easy at all,” she shared. Tiwa explained that she had to lower the keys on some tracks because her vocal range wasn’t the same during pregnancy.
She also mentioned being the first artist in Mavin Records to have a baby at the time. “Anytime they noticed my energy dropping, Jazzy would tell them to get my cravings, which were eggs and bread,” she laughed.
