Afrobeats sensation Rema has made the difficult decision to cancel all his scheduled performances for December in order to prioritize his health. The Nigerian music star, who has been on a relentless tour, revealed in an Instagram story post that he has been neglecting his well-being and needs time to recuperate.
“Breaks my heart to say that I won’t be performing anywhere this December. Been years of touring I’ve ignored my health and I need time to recuperate. 2024 we go again love,” Rema stated.
Renowned for his hit song “Calm Down,” which he performs with Selena Gomez, Rema has achieved remarkable success this year. The song has topped global charts and was recently honored with the Best Afrobeats Song award at the Billboard Music Awards.
In addition, Rema made waves at the Ballon D’Or awards, impressing football legends with his electrifying performance. Furthermore, “Calm Down” has etched its name in history as the longest-charting and most successful African song of all time on the prestigious Billboard Hot 100 in the United States.
Fellow Nigerian star Davido has applauded Rema’s accomplishments and supports his decision to prioritize his well-being.
Rema’s cancellation of his shows comes as a surprise to fans and organizers alike, as he had been set to perform in Nigeria and South Africa in December. However, the artist’s commitment to his health reigns supreme, putting his long-term well-being first.
The Afrobeats genre continues to gain global recognition, with Rema contributing to its growing popularity. Despite the setback, fans can eagerly anticipate Rema’s return to the stage in 2024, refreshed and ready to deliver his signature electrifying performances.
