“Burna for don use timberland march instrumentalist neck” – Netizens reacts as Rema storms off stage amid performance due to poor sound

Afrobeat artists, Rema has raised eyebrows as he storms off the stage while performing at the Dreamville Festival due to poor sound.

The Dreamville Festival, which took place on Saturday, April 6 and Sunday, April 7, featured a variety of notable international artists including J.Cole, Nicki Minaj, 50 Cent, SZA, amongst others.

During the performance of his popular hit song “Calm Down,” Rema had to halt the performance due to several technical difficulties.

He pointed out that all of the other performers had no problems with sound and threatened to leave the stage if it persists.

He said: “Too many many sound issues. It’s messing up my whole performance. I’m seriously not feeling this sh!t at all. It’s too messed up. I am representing Africa, this is too messed up. The sound cannot be perfect for every artists that gets on this stage. Africa is in the house and you are messing sh!t up. I’ll walk out the stage bro.”

Apparently, the sound issues wasn’t resolved so Rema walked off the stage.

dimplesamaka: You paid me doesn’t mean you should frustrate my efforts… If you love how he reacted >>>>>>

onias_closet_ng: Burna for don use timberland march instrumentalist neck 😂😂😂😂.

tinlasa: Rema is proud button.

young.hero06: Confidence and Pride look alike…Humbleness and Shyness look alike… I will rather be confident and let people mistake it for Pride than to be humble and let them mistake it for Shyness.

skinark_ng: As a great performer, he should have told them to turn off the sound system, and sing like that with his audience instead of rudely walking away! Always learn to compromise.

evve__lynn: I love how rema walked out.. he deserves to be treated better than that.

different.chris: Rema is not proud. He demanded openly what most of your favs fold for. These people intentionally cut sounds to limit African performances. Many artist complain about these things but not openly as Rema just did. Before, they even use to give Africans awards at the backstage until Wizkid did same thing.. When you get to the top, leave a mark and at least correct something.
