- Rema’s evasive response to the question has, however, spurred comments from his fans and followers.
Nigerian singer Divine Ikubor Rema, in a trending video, finally spoke about his performance at the wedding of Anant Ambani, son of India’s richest man Mukesh Ambani, and Radhika Merchant, daughter of pharma tycoons Viren and Shaila Merchant.
Recall Rema made headlines after he was reported to have been paid $3 million (approximately N4.5 billion) to perform at the lavish wedding. Speaking in a recent interview with GRM Daily, Rema revealed performing at the wedding was a significant achievement.
While he didn’t confirm nor refute claims of him being paid N4.5 billion, the Calm Down star disclosed he was paid big.
The interview asked: “Is it true you got paid $3million for the Ambani’s Wedding in India?”
Rema responded by saying:
“Hehehe, that is all I can say to be honest, money wise it was a great achievement, it was beautiful, I love India and India loves me too.
It is just feel good to see something that people trolled me for, criticised me for and I am benefiting off of that, imagine if I had stopped, imagine if I had listen to the trolls and I think I feel I have to switch it up and four years later it paid and it paid big.”
