The singer shared the news during an interview with B&B FM, published on July 4, 2026, which was recorded at his home in the United States. Responding to a question about whether he intends to perform in Rwanda again, Meddy confirmed that plans for the concert have been in the works for a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The award-winning artist explained that after settling in the United States, his priority was building a family and raising his two children alongside his wife. Now, he says, the time feels right to return to the stage in Rwanda with a bigger and better production than ever before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“What I’m preparing will be even better than everything I’ve done before. I’ve been working on this plan for a very long time. There comes a moment when you feel the time is right. I don’t want to keep people waiting any longer. I want this concert to be twice as big as my previous ones. I’ll even bring my children with me,” Meddy said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The interviewer pressed for more details, but Meddy, who was accompanied by music producer Element in Texas at the time of the interview, declined to reveal any further information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I don’t want to talk about it yet,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The singer did not disclose the date or venue for the planned concert, leaving fans to speculate about when he will finally return to perform in Rwanda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In recent years, Meddy has shifted his focus to gospel music, dedicating much of his work to songs that spread the message of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meddy’s last performance in Kigali was on January 1, 2019, during the annual East African Party concert, one of Rwanda’s biggest New Year’s Day music events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
