Surprising scenes at the Ballon d'Or ceremony as Afrobeats star Rema failed to greet Messi after exchanging pleasantries with other nominees in attendance.


Afrobeats superstar Rema made many Nigerians proud when he was called on stage to perform his global smash hit 'Calm Down' to an audience of superstars and football dignitaries at the Ballon d'Or in Theatre du Chalet, Paris, France.


He, however, raised eyebrows and has now sparked conversations online after he seemingly snubbed the seven-time winner of the award and shoo-in to make it eight on the night, Lionel Messi.


Rema entered global superstardom with his hit single Calm Down, which he eventually made a remix for featuring American singer Selena Gomez. The record became a worldwide sensation, propelling the Nigerian singer to new heights.


Calm Down spent a record one year on top of the Billboard US Afrobeats Songs chart, and peaked at number three on the super competitive Billboard Hot 100, and number one on the Canadian Top Songs chart, according to the Guardian.
