National Basketball Association has announced that three Nigerian superstars – GRAMMY Award-winning singer, Burna Boy, 2023 GRAMMY Award-winning singer and Oscar-nominated singer Tems and Rema from Mavin records, will headline the NBA All-Star Game halftime show in Utah this Sunday for an Afrobeats-focused set.

The development comes at a time when the Afrobeats genre, which originated from West Africa, is making waves globally and pushing African culture to the western world.

Rema, one of the African youngsters to headline the show, was the main headliner of the 2021 All-Star game that was held in Kigali on November 20, 2021.

Before Sunday’s game, Post Malone will hit the stage for a medley of his songs during the first arena-hosted All-Star Draft. Vin Diesel, who’s set to star in Fast X, will be the host for the night, announcing the All-Star game players.

Last year’s All-Star game, hosted in Cleveland, saw the likes of Mary J. Blige, Ludacris, Lil Wayne, Migos, Gunna, and Lil Baby taking the stage.

Singer Jewel will be in charge of performing the United States national anthem, while Jully Black will perform the Canadian national anthem during Sunday’s game.
