Nigerian singer Rema, who is popularly known for his song ‘Calm Down’, arrived in India on Tuesday. He is all set to perform as part of his ‘Rema Calm Down India Tour’. He will perform in India for the first time in multiple cities between May 12 and 14. Rema will perform in Delhi, Mumbai, and Hyderabad.
West Indies cricketer Chris Gayle will be making a surprise guest appearance on stage at the Mumbai leg of the tour where Rema will premiere his new track. Gayle will be premiering the teaser of his track ‘Oh Fatima’ live at the show. He will be joined by his collaborator, Indian singer-songwriter and composer Arko Pravo Mukherjee.
As Rema also known as Divine Ikubor gets ready to enthrall his Indian fans, it has been reported that ace fashion designer Manish Malhotra will design his special outfit.
A source close to the designer revealed to Hindustan Times, ‘Rema is a huge admirer of India. He’s expressed a keen interest to sample various homegrown facets. Since Manish Malhotra is the frontrunner of the fashion world of India, he was Rema’s first choice when it came to sampling designs.’
‘The outfit that is being made will entail some form of indigenous integration in terms of design and material to ensure there’s cross-cultural representation. Rema and Manish are likely to meet on Wednesday at the latter’s atelier for the final round of fittings since most of the discussion has happened remotely thus far,’ the source added.
Rema is the only Nigerian artist to enter the Billboard Top 100 chart with ‘Calm Down’, which reached No. 6 spot.
