While many of Rema’s fans enjoyed the O2 Arena concert, others left feeling disturbed by what they perceived as “Satanist and devilish symbols.”
Some Nigerians raised concerns, linking Rema to the Illuminati, a secret society, based on the imagery used during his recent London show.
In a viral video, a female fan expressed her distress, attributing it to what she believed were ominous symbols at the concert.
She claimed Rema aimed to capture her soul but asserted that she was God’s favorite, prompting her and a friend to leave the show early for safety. She further questioned her decision to attend the concert, asking, “Who sent me here?”
Another clip from the show captured a different lady making the sign of the cross while watching Rema perform on stage.
Amidst the negative online discourse, one of Rema’s dancers, @Mvrziano, expressed confusion over how a piece of art could be labeled as demonic and felt compelled to provide clarification.
The dancer explained that the controversial song performed by Rema at the O2 show was titled “Panthera” and belonged to the Black Panther album, widely acclaimed the previous year.
Mvrziano expressed surprise that people did not recognize the song, with some mistakenly thinking Rema was uttering incantations. He defended the lyrics of the song, stating that there was nothing demonic about it.
He emphasized that their role at the show was to hype up the crowd, emphasizing Rema’s achievement as the youngest Afrobeat singer to sell out the O2 Arena.
The dancer clarified that the bat, a symbol used by Rema, represents his hometown in Nigeria. He shared a tweet from Rema in 2021, explaining that bats take over the skies at night in Benin City, his hometown, and the bat emoji serves as a signature because it reminds him of home.
KanyiDaily recalls that Rema’s performance in Ethiopia was recently canceled by the country’s government after people accused him of being demonic.
