Finally, Rema reacts to being paid N4.5bn for performance at Anant Ambani’s wedding
Nigerian singer Divine Ikubor widely known as Rema, has finally opened up about his performance at Anant Ambani’s wedding to Radhika Merchant.
Recall that Anant Ambani, son of India’s richest man, Mukesh Ambani, tied the knot with his longtime partner Radhika Merchant, the daughter of pharmaceutical tycoon Viren and Shaila Merchant, in a luxurious ceremony that caused a stir across the world.
During the marriage ceremony, Rema gained popularity when it was revealed that he received N4.5 billion in compensation to perform at the opulent wedding.
However, in a recent interview with GRM Daily, Rema stated that being a part of the wedding performance was an important accomplishment for him.
Speaking further, Rema stated that he was well-paid for his performance, but he did not corroborate or deny reports that he had received N4.5 billion.
The interviewer asked, “Is it true you got paid $3 million for the Ambani’s wedding in India?”
Rema responded by saying: “Hehehe, that is all I can say to be honest, money wise it was a great achievement, it was beautiful, I love India and India loves me too. It just feels good to see something that people trolled me for, criticized me for and I am benefiting off of that, imagine if I had stopped, imagine if I had listened to the trolls, and I think I feel I have to switch it up and four years later it paid, and it paid big.”
Social media users questioned why Rema refused to answer the question of how much he was paid for his performance at the wedding.
