Nigerian musician, Divine Ikubor, professionally known as Rema, walked off the stage in anger during his performance in Atlanta.
Rema abruptly ended his show following the venue’s unsatisfactory conditions and among other things expressed discomfort with the heat inside the venue.
In a viral video on social media, the singer got onstage and performed just two songs with the audience, then angrily left the stage.
Addressing his fans before walking off the stage, the singer apologised to his audience and promised to reschedule his show in Atlanta.
Voicing out his grievances, Rema stated that the show organisers had shown disrespect not just towards him but also towards Afrobeats as a genre.
“We don’t move like this; Afrobeats is way too big to move like this. I don’t take no rubbish 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. I love you," he said.
