Nigerian musician and composer, Rema, has replied to backlashes concerning his unsatisfactory performance at the Afronation festival in Portugal.
Rema stated that the sound arrangement on the first day of the event was poor since there were no in-ear monitors for artists to monitor the audio being received by the crowd.

Rema responded to the witness’s claim in a video that the he and Omah Lay, did not sing during their performance.
Attendee claimed that during Rema and Omah Lay’s performance, nobody could hear their voices.
She said, “Why are you not singing? We came to see you live. You are a vocalist. Your main instrument is your voice.
“We came to Portugal to hear that voice live because we love what your voice sounds like on recording. Now we want to hear you live.”
In his response to the video, Rema wrote,
“Whoever came for Afronation day 1 knew the sound was bad. Second delay was feedback from the mic. No in-ear monitors for artists to keep track of the audio the audience was receiving.
“Let’s not even talk about provisions they make for artists to come with ‘bands’. Still I made use of live sessions at first and I cut it off and improvised because I wasn’t satisfied with the sound. I even complained on stage.
“One thing leads to another, know this! But I just can’t watch people take shots at me and my brother, Omah Lay.
Lastly, we’ll all learn, grow and do better as artists and organisers.” he added
