Queen Ifrica Withdraws From Rebel Salute Over ‘Contractual Dispute’

Reggae-dancehall firebrand Queen Ifrica has withdrawn her services over a reported contractual dispute regarding her performance at the Rebel Salute Festival, which will be held at the Miramar Regional Park on September 28, 2025.

Queen Ifrica wrote via her Instagram page: “PSA: Queen Ifrica regrets to inform her fans that unfortunately she must cancel her scheduled performance at Rebel Salute this Sunday Sept 28th due to terms of her agreement not being met. While she was looking forward to performing for the audience at Rebel Salute, she believes that artists must be treated with professionalism and respect.”

Fans expressed disappointment that the ‘Fyah Mumma’ would not be present, and scrutinized the organisation of the event.

One user commented: “Damn already got tickets. What’s the issue @rebelsalute 🤔 try fix this”.

Other fans demanded answers and transparency.

Efforts to get a comment from the organisers proved futile. One insider said that organisers were “busy focusing on the other artistes who have been booked for the show”.

The show, as they say, must go on and the event is still scheduled to feature acts like Tony Rebel, Maxi Priest, and Mikey Spice, along with its signature food village, art village, and ‘herb curb’. Rebel Salute has grown into a cultural institution, with a history of over 27 years, promoting a lifestyle that predates modern vegan and vegetarian movements.
