Festival organizers expressed gratitude to the audience for their understanding regarding the schedule adjustment. They conveyed their enthusiasm for welcoming Offset to the stage for what is anticipated to be an exceptional performance. The evening also features artist Tay Dollar Sign, promising a strong showing within the current festival edition.

The festival anticipates this performance to be one of the highlights of the 2026 "Mawazine - Rhythms of the World" edition, given the international stature and broad appeal of the participating artists among hip-hop and rap enthusiasts.
