Nigerian singer Rema has addressed the flying rumour of him being paid 4.5 billion to perform at
performance fee at the lavish wedding of Anant Ambani, the son of Asia’s richest man Mukesh Ambani, and Radhika Merchant, the daughter of prominent pharma tycoons Viren and Shaila Merchant.
The Nigerian singer with no doubt confirmed that he was paid such a massive money to perform his hit song ‘Calm Down’ at the luxurious wedding.
However, he detailed that he was more focused on proving his critics wrong for slamming his so called indian flow.
He added that he is very loved in India, while also describing that he is so happy he didn’t listen to critics.
Appearing as a guess in an interview with GRM, he was asked to confirm if he was paid $3 million to perform at the luxurious wedding.
“Is it true you got paid $3million for Ambani’s Wedding in India?,” the Interviewer asked.
In response, Rema replied:
“Hehehe. That’s what I can say, to be honest. Money-wise, but overall, it was a great treatment. It was beautiful.”
“I love India. India loves me, too. And it’s just beautiful to see something that people trolled me for, criticised me for. And now, I’m benefiting from that.
“Imagine if I stopped. Imagine if I actually 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 mistaking, 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.”
Nigerians couldn’t hold their nerves and reacted massively via all the social media platforms.
