Rema’s second headlining show at London’s O2 Arena was more than just another stop on his ongoing HEIS tour—it was a moment. His performance was a well-curated experience that Rema’s shows now have a stellar reputation for these days.

One of the night’s most powerful highlights was when Rema brought out D’banj—a respectful nod to one of the pioneers who first cracked open the UK scene for Afrobeats. It was a full-circle moment that celebrated the groundwork D’banj and his peers laid.

The surprises didn’t stop there—J Hus and BNXN joined Rema on stage, lighting up the arena. Darkoo also appeared, and of course, they performed their smash hit Favourite Girl, much to the crowd’s excitement.

In a highlight moment that perfectly captured Rema’s deep connection to his fans, he gifted a Birkin bag to one of his female supporters in the audience. It was a full-circle moment where he quite literally lived out his own lyrics: “Buy you a Birkin, matching my AP color.”
