Rema Gives An Incredible Performance At The 2024 BRIT Awards

The Nigerian Afrobeats sensation Rema, who was slated to perform at the BRITs ceremony, has once again made Afrobeats proud.

With an enthralling performance that left the crowd wanting more, the musician lit up the BRITs stage on Saturday night, March 2, 2024. He sang his popular song “Calm Down,” which was considered for the International Song of the Year award. Before his performance, Rema answered a question about his nerves with a remark that demonstrated his calm confidence: “I wrote ‘Calm Down,’ I’m not nervous.”

Rema performed with vigor and energy, living up to his confident declaration. He produced a visually spectacular performance that matched the vivid passion of his song by bringing his own set designers.

His dedication to maintaining artistic autonomy strengthened his position as a growing international celebrity. In terms of Afrobeats, the performance was historic. Rema followed in Burna Boy’s footsteps in 2018 by becoming the second African performer at the BRIT Awards. But Rema has one special distinction all his own—he’s the first African musician to be named particularly as a performer on the BRIT stage.

This is an important advancement for Afrobeats’ exposure and acknowledgement on the biggest global venues. Rema has shown that he is a force to be reckoned with thanks to his contagious energy, indisputable talent, and unfailing confidence.
