Afrobeats sensation Rema made a triumphant return to his hometown of Benin City, hosting a sold-out homecoming concert at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium on Friday, August 30.
The event, his first show in Nigeria, drew thousands of fans and brought the city to a standstill.
Rema, who had earlier received the blessings of the Oba of Benin, delivered an electrifying performance, dazzling the audience with his hit songs. Meanwhile, the highlight of the night included a surprise appearance by Mavin Record Label’s boss, Don Jazzy, who joined Rema on stage alongside Crayon and Shallipopi.

However, the night took an unexpected turn when an overzealous fan climbed the stage while Rema was performing his hit song Ozeba. Rema showed his unusual side by kick-kicking the fan, adding a dramatic twist to the celebration.
