Burna Boy, Rema, and Tems performed at the 2023 NBA All-Star Game halftime show last night.
Cameroonian professional basketball player, Pascal Siakam introduced the performances as he assured the audience that they were going to have the time of their lives.
“This half time is gonna be fire, coming to the stage we’ve got a young king Rema, we’ve got a beautiful queen Tems and to start us off give it up for my boy Burna Boy.” He said.
The three Nigerian artists took turns onstage, with Burna Boy kicking things off with an energetic performance of some of his hits like It’s Plenty, Last Last and Anybody before Rema took over to perform his hit song Calm Down while encircled by backup dancers.
Tems closed out the segment with a medley of Crazy Tings, Free Mind, Essence, and Higher while encircled by backup dancers and singers.
