Afrobeats sensation Rema received a prestigious royal plaque from the Oba of Benin, Oba Ewuare II, in recognition of his contributions to promoting Edo State and the legacy of the ancient Benin Empire through his music.
The Oba presented the plaque to Rema during the singer’s visit to the royal palace on Thursday, ahead of his highly anticipated homecoming concert at the Ogbe Stadium in Benin City.

This honor comes shortly after Rema participated in the groundbreaking ceremony for the Edo Arena alongside Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki.
In a historic gesture, the governor announced that the new 6,000-capacity venue would be named Rema Dome in tribute to the singer’s global influence and his deep connection to his roots.

Rema, born Divine Ikubor, has long been a proud ambassador of Edo State. His latest hit, "Benin Boys," which features fellow Edo-born artist Shallipopi, serves as a musical tribute to the city of Benin. In the song, Rema humorously noted that he deserved a medal from the Oba for his efforts in shining a spotlight on the kingdom.
The royal plaque from Oba Ewuare II is a fitting acknowledgment of Rema's dedication to representing and uplifting his heritage on the global stage.
As he continues to achieve international success, Rema remains deeply connected to his hometown, using his platform to celebrate and promote the rich culture and history of Benin.
