On July 27, 2023, the award-winning international sensation failed to perform at the Atlanta leg of his 'Rave & Roses' Tour over what he described as the poor and dissatisfactory state of the venue.
In a video clip captured by someone from the audience and shared on Twitter, Rema while addressing the fans who turned out to see him stated that Afrobeats is bigger than the venue and his fans deserve to be treated better.
"Afrobeats is way too big to look 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," Rema said before walking away from the stage.
