Rema has disclosed that he is the first Afrobeats artist to tour India. He expressed that if his claim is inaccurate, he hopes for forgiveness, as he celebrated the warm welcome he received during his recent performance in the country.
In a recent interview with GRM, he reflected on his significant media presence following his performance at the wedding reception of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant on July 12 at the Jio World Centre in Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC), Mumbai.
When questioned about the reported $3 million he allegedly received, he did not provide a definitive answer but hinted that there might be some truth to the claim.
He answered by saying; “Hehehe. That’s what I can say, to be honest. Money-wise, but overall, it was a great treatment. It was beautiful”.
Speaking further, Rema said;
“I love India. India loves me, too. And it’s just beautiful to see something that people trolled me for, and criticised me for. And now, I’m benefiting from that.
“Imagine if I stopped. Imagine if I listened to the trolls online and switched up my sound. “Four years later, it paid and still paying and more to come. India is a huge territory. I’m actually the first Afrobeats artiste to tour India. I’m even probably the first African if I’m not wrong, but if I’m mistaken, please, forgive me. But it’s a huge deal.
“It’s not just about the wedding. It’s about the reception everywhere I go. I remember when I was touring India, I didn’t even know how they knew. When I go anywhere just to eat, it’s just paparazzi. It’s crazier than the love in Nigeria.”
