Nigerian singer Rema has a show scheduled for September 9 in Ethiopia, but reports say it has been cancelled.
The music star’s Ethiopian show was reportedly cancelled after his necklace of a burning church raised religious concerns.

The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, with its deep cultural heritage and strong religious convictions, also condemned the symbols.
In response to mounting public pressure, the Sheraton Hotel, Addis Ababa, decided to cancel Ikubor’s event.

The hotel management issued a statement, expressing deep regret for any offence caused by the singer’s planned performance and emphasizing their respect for Ethiopian culture, history, and religious values.
An Ethiopian lady on Daddy Freeze’s IG live explained that they felt he was a devil worshipper because of his accessory.

She explained that Ikubor’s necklace led to accusations of him worshipping the devil, which ultimately resulted in the cancellation of his show by the Ethiopian Orthodox Church.
“They made a statement, like a press release in Ethiopia about Rema. Yes, you can imagine, it’s a very big deal.
“They’re basically saying he is worshipping the devil because of what he has on his neck. And to be honest, I never thought of it myself. And there’s more to it; to be honest.”
