Nigerian singer Rema is the first Afrobeats artist to ever perform at the prestigious Ballon d’Or awards.
The crooner gave a thrilling performance at the 67th Ballon d’Or on Monday night (30.10.2023) in Paris.
During the event, Rema graced the stage with a mesmerizing rendition of his chart-topping track, ‘Calm Down,’ leaving the football stars in the audience captivated by his performance.
“Afrobeat in Ballon d’Or! I’m truly grateful for the opportunity. Glory to the most high for the grace,” he posted on social media platforms.
His latest EP, Ravage, is also a testament to his success, as it debuted on the charts in over 50 countries a few hours after its release on Friday, October 26, 2023.
Lionel Messi expectedly clinched the men’s prize for the eighth time in his incredible career, owing largely to his triumph with Argentina at the 2022 World Cup.
