Rema Takes Stand for Afrobeats Integrity, Cancels Atlanta Show on ‘Rave & Roses’ Tour….
Nigerian international sensation, Rema, renowned for his global hit single “Calm Down” and trailblazing role in the Afrobeats genre, made a bold statement during his ‘Rave & Roses’ Tour in Atlanta on July 27, 2023. The award-winning artist took a principled stand and refused to perform at the Atlanta leg of the tour, citing the unacceptable state of the venue as the reason.
A video clip shared on Twitter captured the moment when Rema addressed his disappointed fans, expressing concern over Afrobeats’ representation and treatment at the current venue.
Uncompromising in his artistic standards, Rema firmly stated, “Afrobeats is way too big to look like this. I don’t take any nonsense, and I respect my fans. I’m going to reschedule this show because they have disrespected me and disrespected Afrobeats by treating you guys like this.”
Although the decision to cancel the performance may have left hundreds of fans disappointed, many appreciated Rema’s dedication to providing them with the best possible experience. His hit single “Calm Down” has garnered massive global success, solidifying Afrobeats’ position as one of the music industry’s most significant exports.
Rema’s achievements include setting records such as being the Nigerian artist with the highest monthly listeners on Spotify, having the most-streamed Afrobeats song on the platform, and holding the record for the most-watched Nigerian music video on YouTube, among other accolades. His popularity has transcended continents, establishing him as one of the world’s hottest artists.
With such remarkable achievements, Rema holds himself to a high standard, ensuring that his craft and stage performances uphold the prestige of Afrobeats.
