With a $10,000 prize and other exciting perks, dance group Pop Boys has been declared the winners of Rema’s widely reported ‘KelebuDanceChallenge’.
In July, Rema announced the challenge, asking fans to come up with the best dance move for his brand-new song, Kelebu, which was released on August 1.
With innumerable entries saturating social media under the hashtag #KelebuDanceChallenge, the competition unleashed a creative tsunami.
Pop Boys were declared the winners on Thursday by Rema’s label, Mavin Records, through their X page.
The group received the most votes from fans due to their captivating and dynamic performance. Pop Boys will receive a video call with Rema and appear in the official music video for “Kelebu” in addition to the cash prize.
Rema, whose real name is Divine Ikubor, joined D’Prince’s Jonzing World, a division of Mavin Records, in 2019.
At the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs), his popular song Calm Down, which featured Selena Gomez, took home the first “Best Afrobeats” category.
He was also acknowledged by Spotify as one of the most exported musicians who topped the sub-Saharan African charts the previous year.
