“Love Me Jeje” singer, Tems has revealed why she cancelled her highly anticipated show in Kigali, Rwanda.
The sultry singer who had been promoting the concert online explained that she had to call off the concert Rwanda’s support of the M23 armed group waging an offensive in eastern DR Congo.
Tems made the revelation via her X handle, writing: “So I recently promoted my show in Rwanda without realising that there is an ongoing conflict between Rwanda and Congo.
“I never ever intend to be insensitive to real-world issues, and I sincerely apologise 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.”
DR Congo has accused Rwanda of waging an offensive to profit from the region’s mineral wealth. A report by UN experts in July supported these claims, finding that Rwanda has thousands of troops in eastern DR Congo–and holds “de facto control” over the M23. Meanwhile, Rwanda has denied the accusations.
