Nigerian music sensation Rema has once again proven he’s not just a chart-topping artist but also a true crowd-pleaser — and now, a fan-favorite for an act of jaw-dropping generosity.
Performing to a massive crowd of over 20,000 fans at the iconic O2 Arena in London, the Calm Down hitmaker delivered not just an electrifying performance but also one of the most talked-about moments of the night. In a surprise that has since gone viral across social media, Rema called a fan on stage and handed her something few could ever dream of receiving — an ultra-exclusive Hermès Birkin bag.
To the uninitiated, the Hermès Birkin isn’t just a handbag — it’s a global status symbol. Owning one often requires immense wealth, connections, and patience, thanks to its astronomical price tag and waitlist-only availability. But Rema didn’t hesitate. In the now-viral video, the fan is seen receiving the luxury item in Hermès’ signature orange box, overwhelmed with emotion as the crowd erupts.
Social media, unsurprisingly, exploded with reactions.
“A whole Birkin??? Shit… send me his music rq,” one user joked on X (formerly Twitter).
“Seeing that orange box would’ve had me screaming,” read another comment.
“Rema’s generosity is next level! Gifting a Birkin bag to a fan? That’s straight-up legendary,” said one stunned fan.
Many praised Rema not just for his musical talent but for his genuine appreciation of fans. “Shows how much he values his fans, pure respect,” one netizen wrote, while another added, “Rema’s out here making dreams come true!”
The concert itself was already a career-defining moment, packed with surprise guest appearances, stunning visuals, and a setlist that spanned Rema’s meteoric rise in Afrobeats. But the Birkin gesture? That took things to a whole new level.
From viral lyrics to viral kindness, Rema is showing the world that his reign is only just beginning.
