In a groundbreaking concert titled 'RAVAGE UPRISING' at London's iconic O2 Arena, Nigerian rapper, singer, and songwriter Rema made history with a sold-out event witnessed by over 40,000 viewers on YouTube. The highlight of the evening was Rema's grand entrance, riding on the back of a horse adorned in striking red and black colors. This spectacle not only showcased Rema's showmanship but also solidified his standing as the "prince of Afrobeats." The O2 Arena quickly trended on social media, marking a significant milestone in Rema's career.

Under the alias Divine Ikubor, Rema captivated the O2 stage in London, making a memorable entrance on horseback while dressed in a flowing black cape and a distinctive mask. Engaging with his 20,000-strong audience, he delivered soulful renditions of R&B tracks like 'Dirty' and 'Ginger,' along with crowd favorites such as 'Lady' and 'Soundgasm.' Rema's diverse setlist included hits from his earlier works like the 'Rema EP' and 'Bad Commando' EP. The night concluded with a series of energetic performances, including his famous tracks 'Calm Down,' 'Woman,' 'Booty Bounce,' and 'Charm.'

Rema's stellar year also saw him become the first African artist to grace the stage at the Ballon d'Or, organized by the France Football Federation. Celebrating this achievement on Instagram, he expressed gratitude for the opportunity to showcase Afrobeat on such a prestigious platform. Additionally, his collaboration with American rapper Ice Spice on the track "Pretty Girl" further expanded his international reach, culminating in a performance during the Season 49 premiere of Saturday Night Live. Rema's unprecedented success continues to propel him to new heights on the global music scene.
