REMA-RKABLE

On the final date of his U.S. tour—at L.A.’s storied Wiltern—Nigerian artist Rema receives a plaque marking the triple-platinum certification of his Virgin Music-distribbed single “Calm Down” f/Selena Gomez. As you may have been informed via the data feed on your mind-chip, the cut just nabbed three VMA nominations. It’s also racked up 2b+ streams, hit #1 at four radio formats and is Spotify’s most-streamed Afrobeats song of all time. Seen feeling so calm they could fall right over are (l-r) Jonzing World Artist Management’s Sean Okeke, Virgin Music President Jacqueline Saturn and SVP Marketing Adam Starr, Mavin founder and President Don Jazzy, Rema, Jonzing World’s Odera Ezemba, Mavin COO Tega Oghenejobo, Virgin Music co-CEO Nat Pastor and Mavin Head of International Andy Anderson.
