In a landmark move, Rema will make two stops in Japan with a headline performance at the 10K capacity Okinawa Arena on July 20, and 7 days later, he will thrill fans at the Mushashino Hall which seats 10,000 people.
Rema’s Japan concert isn’t his first in Asia as the superstar has previously performed in India including in the famous Ambani wedding.
He recently also performed in Malaysia in a feat that captured his status as a global superstar.
The song samples the track ‘Is It A Crime’ from the iconic ‘Promise’ album by British band Sade.
The song is Rema’s first release of 2025 which comes after his appearance at the 2025 Grammys where he was nominated for the Best Global Album.
The category was won by American musician Matt B & the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra for his album ‘Alkebulan II’.
Rema’s ‘Baby (Is It A Crime)’ is his first release since he put out his sophomore album ‘HEIS’ in 2024.
The award-winning star described the up-tempo party starting project as a tribute to the rich history of Nigerian music and a desire to remind the industry of the need to look inward.
The album which boasts of the hit singles ‘Azaman’ and ‘Ozeba’ enjoyed commercial success and was ranked among the best albums of 2024.
With his new single Rema will be aiming to continue his commercial run which has earned him several accolades including scoring the first Afrobeats song to reach 1 billion Spotify streams and 1 billion YouTube views.
