Rema sparks debate with mannequins of Afrobeats stars at MSG performance
Nigerian music star Rema has drawn mixed reactions after featuring mannequins resembling Afrobeats icons Wizkid, Burna Boy, and Davido during his recent performance at Madison Square Garden in New York.
The controversial moment occurred during his 2025 ‘HEIS’ World Tour stop, where he thrilled fans with energetic performances of songs like Ozeba, March Am, Azaman, and Charm. However, his dramatic entrance for the track Hehehe, where he emerged on stage surrounded by lifelike statues of the “Afrobeats Big 3,” quickly became the main point of online discussions.
While some fans viewed the act as a creative tribute to the genre’s pioneers, others criticized it as being “unnecessary” or potentially disrespectful, sparking debate about artistic expression and respect in the music industry.

“How can you arrest my manager and ask me to go home? I stayed,” he said.
To his surprise, he was recognised by an inmate who requested a performance. “I ended up performing in the cell,” he added.
