Rema conquers India, three years after making promise in viral video

Afrobeats singer, Divine Ikubor, popularly known as Rema has successfully extended his reach to India, three years after he set the goal for himself.

The Mavin singer who recently shut down a concert in India shared a video where he spoke about his dream to conquer the Asian country.

In the interview he granted in 2020, Rema had questioned why Nigerian artists are not breaking into the music scene in India like they are doing in Europe and America.

He added that he wants to take Afrobeats to the next level and expressed his desire to conquer India with his music.

“You see Afrobeats, I want to take it to the next level. I want us to get into the India zone. Why can’t we shut down India?” he passionately said in the interview.

Three years after the interview, the 23-year-old singer, known for his hit song “Calm Down”, has achieved the impressive feat of selling out a concert in Delhi, India.

Videos of the concert have been shared on the internet, and it’s evident that he captivated his Indian fans with his electrifying performance.

Sharing a video mash-up of the interview alongside scenes from the concert, Rema expressed gratitude to those who believed in his dream and Indians for the love and support he received in the country.

“3 years later I did it! Thank you India for your overwhelming love & my heart to those who BELIEVED,” he wrote.

The singer is set to shut down Mumbai on Saturday and Hyderabad on Sunday, following his energetic performance in Delhi last weekend.
