Revealing this via their social media page on Thursday morning, the Brits Awards Organizers posted that Nigerian music star, Divine Ikubor, also known as Rema, has been billed to perform at this year’s BRIT Awards, the UK’s most prestigious music awards show.
Rema will be the second Nigerian musician to perform at the Brit Awards. Burna Boy performed during the 2018 Awards presentation
The award ceremony is set to take place in London on March 2, 2023. At the 2024 Brit Awards, Burna Boy and Asake were nominated in the star-studded International Artist of the Year category, while Rema’s ‘Calm Down’ received a nomination in the highly coveted International Song of the Year category.
The BRIT Awards are the British Phonographic Industry’s annual popular music awards. The name was originally a shortened form of “British”, “Britain”, or “Britannia”, but subsequently became a backronym for British Record Industry Trusts Show.
Divine Ikubor, known professionally as Rema, is a Nigerian rapper, singer and songwriter. He gained initial recognition with the release of his 2019 song “Dumebi”. That same year, he signed with D’Prince’s record label, Jonzing World.
