Afrobeats star Rema receives a royal plaque from the Oba of Benin, Oba Ewuare II, recognizing his contributions to promoting Edo State and the Benin Kingdom globally. The honor comes as Rema prepares for his homecoming concert at Ogbe Stadium and follows the naming of 'Rema Dome' in his honor.
Afrobeats star Rema was recently honored with a prestigious royal plaque by the Oba of Benin, Oba Ewuare II, in recognition of his contributions to promoting Edo State and the historic Benin Kingdom on a global scale. The award was presented to Rema during his visit to the Oba's palace, ahead of his highly anticipated homecoming concert at Ogbe Stadium.
This royal recognition came shortly after Rema participated in the groundbreaking ceremony for the Edo Arena, where Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki announced that the 6,000-capacity venue would be named 'Rema Dome' in honor of the artist’s influence and impact on the state.
Rema, a native of Benin City, has consistently celebrated his Edo heritage through his music, playing a significant role in highlighting the cultural richness of the ancient Benin Kingdom both nationally and internationally. His recent hit single, "Benin Boys," featuring fellow Edo artist Shallipopi, further underscores his deep connection to his roots and his efforts to promote the region.
The royal plaque from Oba Ewuare II is a testament to Rema's growing legacy and his dedication to elevating the cultural profile of Edo State.
