Ekweanaedo News reports that the ‘Calm Down’ crooner’ took to his Instagram page on Wednesday to say, he cancelled all engagements for December to focus on his health.
Rema noted that during his years of touring, he had ignored his health, adding that it was time to recuperate.

Reacting, Davido, in a post via Instagram, said the job is not easy and applauded Rema for exceeding expectations and making Africa proud.
He wrote: “The job ain’t easy…physically and mentally!!. You’ve done Africa and the world proud beyond expectations. Get some rest king @heisrema come back stronger.”
Meanwhile, Rema, has addressed allegations of using ‘satanic/Illuminati’ symbols while performing on stage at his headline concert at London’s 02 Arena, on November 14, 2023.
Rema’s entrance to the stage involved riding a horse while clothed in a black robe and adorned with a red mask.
He made a second entrance riding a bat with red eyes, and these choices, along with the overall design of the concert stage, led some fans to conclude that Rema was promoting ‘Illuminati’ in his art.However, reacting via his X (formerly Twitter) handle, the Edo-born superstar explained that his choice of imagery was inspired by Edo culture.
According to the singer while correcting the views of fans on his choice of entrace. He said:
“the artificial horse i rode on stage with was a replica of a Benin artifact, and the mask was a replica of the famous Queen Idia mask.
He added that “the artificial bat i rode on stage during the second appearance was a homage to the bats that fly in the Edo night sky.
