Rema Walks Off Stage Mid Peformance Over Alleged Racist Actions
The international Afrobeats hitmaker, Rema, left fans and other spectators midway through his performance of the megahit ‘Calm Down’ last Sunday at the Dreamville Festival, which held in Raleigh, North Carolina, in the United States of America.

The artist, an international media sensation, whose ‘Calm Down’ took the world by storm, had complained about the sound quality and also highlighted that artists from Africa were not accorded the same respect and treatment as their other counterparts.

Before storming off the stage, the singer said, “I’m representing Africa, this is too messed up. If the sound cannot be perfect for every artist that get on this stage… Africa is in the house and you are messing s**t up?”.

Although some netizens criticised him for leaving his fans who had taking out time and resources just to see him over an issue that was not peculiar to him, as other artists also performed with the same sound quality, others pointed out that Rema is an artist who takes his craft seriously and he is justified for throwing a tantrum over the sound quality of his performance, especially on an international stage.
