This comes after the Calm Down singer broke the hearts of his Nigerian fans by announcing that he had cancelled all performances scheduled for the remaining month of 2023 to take care of himself. He made this known through an Instagram story post on Wednesday as well, raking all sorts of reactions from social media users.

Rema has had an unprecedented year of success in his career, hitting new milestones like selling out the renowned 02 arena and his successful tours in Europe, Asia, and North America. His mega hit Calm Down remix also made such waves that it has become the first by a Nigerian Afrobeats artist to feature on Spotify’s top 10 chart of most streamed tracks globally.

The rest is needed but many Nigerians are now saddened by their dashed hopes of partying with Rema this December.
