The prestigious BRIT Awards have officially announced Nigerian music star Divine Ikubor, popularly known as Rema, as one of the performers for this year’s edition of the renowned music awards ceremony in the United Kingdom.
This revelation was shared by the organizers through their official social media channels on Thursday morning, generating a wave of anticipation among fans.
In a tweet that stirred up excitement, the Brit Awards wrote, “Stay calm, @heisrema will be performing at the #BRITs 2024. Let’s gooooooo,” signaling Rema’s eagerly awaited appearance on the iconic stage.
Rema’s inclusion as a performer marks a significant moment, as he follows in the footsteps of fellow Nigerian artist Burna Boy, who graced the Brit Awards stage in 2018, showcasing the growing influence and global appeal of Nigerian music on the international stage.
Meanwhile, the excitement surrounding Nigerian representation at the Brit Awards continues, with Burna Boy and Asake receiving nominations in the star-studded International Artist of the Year category.
Rema’s hit track ‘Calm Down’ has garnered a nomination in the highly coveted International Song of the Year category for the 2024 Brit Awards, further solidifying Nigeria’s presence on the global music scene.
The eagerly awaited awards ceremony is scheduled to take place in London on March 2, 2023, promising a night of electrifying performances and celebration of musical talent from around the world.
Despite the nominations, Nigeria has yet to secure a coveted Brit Award, heightening the anticipation for this year’s event.
