Nigerian singer and songwriter, Temilade Openiyi, professionally known as Tems has cancelled her ‘Born in the Wild’ tour stop in Kigali, Rwanda, originally scheduled for March 22, 2025.
The Grammy-winning singer made this know via the microblogging platform, X formerly Twitter, where she noted that the cancellation was due to the ongoing tension between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
TheNewsGuru reports that Rwanda is currently backing the M23 group, which recently took control of Goma in the mineral-rich eastern region of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The songtress apologised for promoting the show, adding that she was unaware of the conflict between both nations.
She wrote: “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.”
