Famous Nigerian singer, Divine Ikubor, also known as Rema, has finally responded to allegations that he used “satanic/Illuminati” symbols during his performance at his headline concert at London’s 02 Arena on November 14, 2023.
It is worth noting that Rema successfully sold out the 20,000-capacity 02 Arena, joining the ranks of Wizkid, Davido, Burna Boy, and Asake as the only Africans to achieve this feat at the world’s busiest music arena.
However, some fans who attended the show accused Rema of promoting satanism on social media, claiming that he used “Illuminati” symbols.
Famous Nigerian singer, Divine Ikubor, also known as Rema, has finally addressed allegations that he used “satanic/Illuminati” symbols during his headline concert at London’s 02 Arena on November 14, 2023.
Rema, who joined the ranks of Wizkid, Davido, Burna Boy, and Asake as the only Africans to sell out the world’s busiest music arena, faced accusations of satanism from some fans on social media. However, Rema clarified on his X (formerly Twitter) account that the artificial horse he rode on stage was a replica of a Benin artifact, and the mask he wore was a replica of the famous Queen Idia mask.
Additionally, the artificial bat he rode on stage during his second appearance was a tribute to the bats that can be seen in the Edo night sky.
Sharing a clip from his controversial concert, Rema wrote, “RAVAGE UPRISING/ My Ancestors bronzes sit in the museum of this very city, so I remade mine. Hence, Edo is redefined, the map reshaped, your minds awakened & the mask reborn. Thank you London! 🦇🇬🇧”
Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State has extended his congratulations to Rema for his successful concert at London’s 02 Arena.
He said the people of the state are proud of Rema, “especially his personification of the Edo heritage.”
Obaseki wrote on his X handle: “We are indeed proud of the enigma of @heisrema and what he has come to represent, especially his personification of the Edo heritage. We applaud his genius and celebrate him as he takes the world stage by storm.”
