Famous Nigerian singer, Rema, has finally responded to reports that he received a whopping $3 million for performing at the high-profile wedding of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant in India.
In an interview with GRM, Rema confirmed the payment, stating, “Hehehe. That’s what I can say, to be honest. Money-wise, but overall, it was a great treatment. It was beautiful”.
Rema expressed his love for India and its people, highlighting the significant reception he received during his tour.
“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.”
