Rema walks off stage at 2024 Dreamville Festival in US over sound issues

Nigerian singer, Rema walked off stage midway into his performance at the 2024 Dreamville Festival in North Carolina, U.S.

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

Rema took the microphone and addressed the audience where he advocated for equal treatment of African artists 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, and this is too messed up.

“If the sound cannot be perfect for every artist that gets on this stage… Africa is in the house, and you are messing sh*t up.”
