Afrobeats star Rema marked his 25th birthday with a groundbreaking performance at Madison Square Garden, making him the first of his generation to headline the iconic venue. As part of his HEIS World Tour, he thrilled over 20,000 fans with a genre-bending set full of energy, hits, and bold theatrics.
A standout moment came when Rema performed alongside mannequins resembling Wizkid, Burna Boy, and Davido, symbolizing his claim to a new “Big Four” era in Afrobeats. While the move sparked mixed reactions online, it underscored his meteoric rise.
The night also included emotional moments, including a heartfelt tribute to Don Jazzy, whom Rema called his “second dad.”
