Popular Afrobeat star Rema caused a stir when he abruptly left the stage during his performance at the Dreamville Festival due to sound issues. 

The festival, held on Saturday, April 6, and Sunday, April 7, featured a lineup of international artists such as J.Cole, Nicki Minaj, 50 Cent, and SZA. 

Rema encountered technical difficulties during his performance of his hit song “Calm Down” and stopped the show. He noted that other performers did not face similar sound problems and warned that he would walk off if the issue continued.

He said: “Too many many sound issues. It’s messing up my whole performance. I’m seriously not feeling this sh!t at all. It’s too messed up. I am representing Africa, this is too messed up. The sound cannot be perfect for every artists that gets on this stage. Africa is in the house and you are messing sh!t up. I’ll walk out the stage bro.”
