Salt Lake City and the Utah Jazz wanted to show the world they are an inclusive city, after reports in the past indicating otherwise. The NBA had a special halftime show planned at Vivint Arena featuring an all-Nigeran lineup with afrobeats superstars Burna Boy, Tems and Rema.
The show was a lengthy celebration of African music, headlined entirely by the country of Nigeria. The catchy songs had most of the NBA All-Stars avoid the lockerroom at halftime and stay courtside to watch and record the artists.
Burna Boy got the halftime show started
Burna Boy was the first to take the stage as the headliner, playing his new hit Common Person, amongst more. He then made way for Rema, who played his smash hit Calm Down for the arena and viewers at home to enjoy.
Last, but not least, Tems entered the stage gracefully to perform her a melee of songs, including her smash hit Free Mind.
Toronto Raptors all-star Pascal I’m sorry was everyone at Vivint Arena, vibing to the new-age African melodies. The power forward never even made if to the lockerroom for Halftime.
