Afrobeats sensation Divine Ikubor, better known as Rema, has made a grand entrance into Benin, the heart of Edo State, ahead of his much-awaited homecoming concert.

This electrifying event marks a powerful return to his roots after he set social media ablaze in July with the announcement that he would be performing in his hometown—a moment fans have been eagerly waiting for.

The “Ozeba” hitmaker, who previously took the vibrant essence of Benin culture to the global stage at London’s 02 Arena in 2023, is now preparing to set the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium on fire with his performance this Friday, August 30.

A striking image of cultural pride unfolded as a large crowd of women, adorned in traditional Benin attire, danced and sang praises, their voices echoing in joyous celebration of the Afrobeats superstar’s return.

Donning regal beads and attire befitting the “son of the soil,” Rema addressed the gathered fans with heartfelt words, his presence stirring excitement and anticipation for the explosive concert set to rock Benin this weekend.
