According to Hindustan Times, Rema charged $3 million to perform his global hit song ‘Calm Down’ at the event.
The event, which took place on July 12 at the Jio World Centre in Mumbai, featured performances by global stars like Justin Bieber, who reportedly received $10 million for his performance, and Rihanna, whose fee was not disclosed.
