Rema Walks Off Stage Of J. Cole’s Dreamville Festival Over Poor Sound by Dayvidoo(op): 11:04am On Apr 08, 2024

Nigerian Afrobeats star, Rema stunned off the stage of the 2024 Dreamville Festival in North Carolina, midway into his performance on Sunday.

Rema was performing his hit song ‘Calm Down’ on Day 2 of the festival at Dix Park in Raleigh, but stopped midway to complain about the poor sound before walking off the stage.

He advocated for the same sound quality for African artistes as their Western counterparts on international stages.
He said, “Hold on, there are too many sound issues. It’s messing up my whole performance. I’m seriously not feeling this sh*t.
“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 sh*t up?”

The sound glitches were just too much, it's very disturbing when there's continuous sound problems... He tried to continue but it started affecting his performance... He did the right thing by leaving.

Hmm.
Don't know if na pride or African victim mentality.
Or igbo weed.

For me I noticed when he noticed.
We dey claim like we love Africa but Rema never visited his hometown except to see shallipopi.

Make we no just dey use Africa at our convenience to gain fame.
Na y I no rate any artist claiming freedom fighter. After fela no one had been able to lace his shoes.

Seriously after calm down does rema have another internationally or globally recognized songs.

All his tour na calm down Dem play for dem Oyibo.

Na Burna boy I dey wait for.
All his talk down on Nigerians will tell

You can not reign for forever.
Ask dbanj
Tuface
Lil kesh
Even Wizkid. Na fans dey hold am.
When you trash talk your country men it will haunt you.

i am in support of Rema.

Why organizing a bad sound for him because he is black?

This is nonsense and irresponsible

The young boy is more sensible that most of his asslicking seniors. Especially the other Fela wannabe

He's the real Odogwu

Una don start.... No musician performs with sound glitches. Even here in Nigeria, I've seen several cases. Would Americans come here and start waiting on stage for their sound to be fixed?

Blame the sound engineers not Rema.
