Afrobeats sensation Rema brought excitement to Lagos recently when he personally met the winners of his viral Kelebu Dance Challenge, the energetic POP Boys.
The meetup highlighted the rising talent and creativity of Nigerian youth, putting local dance culture in the spotlight.
Rema, known globally for hits like Calm Down, launched the Kelebu Dance Challenge earlier this year to promote his new track Kelebu.
The song’s infectious beats and catchy lyrics quickly inspired dancers across Nigeria and beyond to create and share their own moves online.
Fans enthusiastically uploaded videos showcasing their skills, and social media votes determined the most impressive performers.
On August 7, Rema announced POP Boys as the official winners via his social media channels.
The group was awarded a $10,000 cash prize (about ₦15 million), a featured spot in the official Kelebu music video, and a private video chat with the singer himself.
The Lagos meetup was the next step in celebrating their achievement.
The outdoor hangout captured a joyous and casual moment. Rema was seen smiling, laughing, and chatting with the young dancers, who sported colorful, paint-splattered outfits reflecting their vibrant personalities.
For the POP Boys, meeting their idol in person was a dream come true. They shared their excitement on social media, posting a heartfelt message that read, “God is Good.”
This event not only rewarded the winners but also showcased the power of music and dance to connect people and create memorable experiences.
For Lagos, it was a reminder of the city’s buzzing entertainment scene and the talent emerging from its streets.
Fans of Rema and followers of Nigerian music are eagerly waiting for the official Kelebu music video, where POP Boys will make their debut.
Their story reflects the possibilities for young talents in Nigeria, showing that with creativity, determination, and a bit of luck, dreams can become reality.
