In the video that surfaced on social media, the arrival of the Afrobeat singer who came into the music scene in 2019 was met with excitement.
Rema’s record label, Mavin shared the video on its official X page with the caption, “Benin, your illustrious son; The Prince of Afrobeats – Rema is Home!”
The concert was first announced in July, after the singer’s 2023 December show was cancelled due to health concerns.
