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.
Nigerian singer Harry song speaks on the rising insecurity in the country and shared that increasing the security income can help improve their performance in securing the country.
The singer took to social media and urged the government “TO MR PRESIDENT. IF YOU REALLY, TRULY WANNA END INSECURITY IN NIGERIA? Start by increasing the salary and allowances of the armed forces. The salary of the army, the navy, the air force, the Nigerian Police Force is too small, too shameful. Increase their salary, this job should be worth dying for. Increase their salaries ooooooo pls and pls.”
Nigerian singer, Peter Okoye from the former duo P-Square, shares his greatest fear. During a recent interview, the singer spoke about his fears and revealed that he is not afraid of death.
Instead, he said he is scared of poverty and has this fear because he has experienced it before. “I am not afraid of death. The only thing I am afraid of in this life is poverty, of being broke.
“I have tasted it [poverty] before. I have been in our house with my parents and siblings, and a bulldozer came and demolished it.”
Popular Nigerian singer, Davido, makes headlines for his gesture of goodwill. It can be noted that during the afternoon performance, the singer paused for one minute of silence to honor his colleague Wizkid’s mother.
The singer paused during his performance and said “Personally, I have lost many loved ones, people close to me, so I understand how Wizkid is feeling right now. May his mother, our mother because she was dear to me, rest in peace.”
This gesture touched many fans, as they were in awe of the singer showing a kind heart despite the usual rivalry between their fan bases.
