Tems Cancels Rwanda Concert Amidst Tensions in DR Congo

News Desk

Nigerian international superstar Tems has canceled her upcoming concert in Rwanda amidst the current tension between the country and South Africa over the crisis in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The singer made this announcement on her X account on January 30 in a move that has been praised by both South African and DRC fans.

In the post, the Grammy winner shared that she promoted her Kigali concert ignorant of the ongoing crisis between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The 29-year-old star apologised if her actions appeared insensitive to the current political climate while also sharing a thought for all those affected by the conflict.

“So I recently promoted my show in Rwanda without realising that there is ongoing conflict between Rwanda and Congo. I never ever intend to be insensitive to real-world issues, and I sincerely apologize if this came across that way. I simply had no idea this was going on. My heart goes out to those affected. Conflict is no joke and I truly hope and pray for peace in this time.”

The canceled concert was meant to be part of the world tour of her debut album ‘Born In The Wild’ which has seen her sell-out venues.

Rwanda is currently facing tensions with South Africa over the country’s support of the M23 Rebel Group trying to dislodge the DRC government.
