Watch as Rema walks off the stage at J Cole’s Dreamville Festival 2024
Reactions have poured in following Rema’s decision to leave the stage during J. Cole’s Dreamville Festival 2024 due to technical difficulties encountered during his performance.
Rema, a prominent Nigerian Afrobeats sensation, participated in J. Cole’s Dreamville Festival 2024, sharing the stage with esteemed global artists such as SZA, Chris Brown, Nicki Minaj, and J. Cole himself.
Held annually at Raleigh’s Dorothea Dix Park in North Carolina on April 6 and 7, 2024, the festival drew crowds of music enthusiasts from across the nation eager to revel in a diverse array of musical genres.
During Rema’s performance on the festival’s second day, as he commenced his set with his acclaimed single ‘Calm Down,’ technical issues with the sound system caused delays and disruptions, hampering his performance.
Expressing his frustration with the sound quality and technical glitches to the audience, Rema halted his performance midway to convey his dissatisfaction with the situation.
He stated, “There’s too many sound issues and it’s messing up my performance. I’m seriously not feeling this shitt. This is too messed up. I am representing Africa this is too messed up. The sound cannot be perfect for every artist that gets on this stage and Africa is in the house and you’re messing shitt up.”
Despite the challenges, the singer persevered in his endeavor to entertain and delight the fans who had eagerly gathered to witness his performance at the event.
However, Rema’s frustration escalated as technical issues persisted, prompting him to pause the performance once again. This time, after conveying his dissatisfaction to the audience, Rema made the decision to abruptly end his set and walk off the stage, signaling his discontent with the situation.
He said, “Too many sound issues, my people, I love you all my people.”
