On October 16, 2024, Afrobeats sensation Rema electrified fans at the Zepp Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, showcasing his extensive collection of hit songs. The sold-out concert, attended by 2,500 enthusiastic fans, saw Rema deliver exciting renditions of his popular tracks, with the crowd cheering and singing along throughout the night.
This performance follows Rema’s recent headline appearance at the Eden Festival in New Zealand, where he shared the stage with fellow Afrobeats stars Tiwa Savage and Ruger. The success of the Kuala Lumpur concert further solidifies Rema’s position as a prominent figure in the global music scene, particularly in the Afrobeat genre.
Rema’s rise to fame is highlighted by his record-breaking single “Calm Down,” which became the first Afrobeat track to surpass 1 billion streams on Spotify. The song also made history by topping the MENA chart and earned a spot in the Guinness Book of Records.
In 2024, Rema released his second album, HEIS, aiming to return Afrobeats to its sonic roots. The album features collaborations with fellow Benin City artist Shallipopi and rapper Odumodublvck. Rema has submitted HEIS for Grammy consideration, hoping to secure his first nomination as he continues to make waves in the international music landscape.
