2026	Doja Cat headlined Move Afrika in Kigali, an event organised with the Rwanda Development Board. Even though the performance's purpose includes creating jobs, training young people, developing local creative industries, and promoting healthcare advocacy, The Human Rights Foundation urged her to cancel, arguing that the event could help the Rwandan government project legitimacy amid allegations of repression and Rwanda's involvement in the DRC conflict. Doja Cat performed as scheduled.	Source
