Afrobeats superstar Divine Ikubor, better known as Rema, has caused a buzz on social media with his recently concluded ‘Ravage Uprising’ 02 Arena show in the UK.
The ‘Calm Down’ crooner undoubtedly unlocked a new level in the Nigerian music industry with his performance at the sold-out 20,000-seat arena.
Performing at the concert, Rema opened his act with his latest hit ‘DND,’ showing up in an all-black ensemble with a mask, atop a stationary horse.

There were also other suggestive visuals of bats and skeletons at the arena, sparking a huge controversy online, with some people labeling them as ‘demonic.’

He shared a video montage of the concert with the caption,
“RAVAGE UPRISING/ My Ancestors bronzes sit in the museum of this very city so I remade mine. Hence, Edo is redefined, the map reshaped, your minds awakened & the mask reborn. Thank you London! 🦇🇬🇧”
