Riderman, who is among the artists lined up to perform at Papa Cyangwe’s concert on Saturday, November 22, 2025, at Kigali Universe, made the announcement during an interview with InyaRwanda on Wednesday, November 19.

He revealed that 2026 will mark a new chapter in his artistic life a moment of reflection on his two-decade journey. “Over the years, I have held many concerts. Some may remember performing with me along the way, but next year marks a special moment: 20 years in music. I’m planning a major concert for that milestone, and more details will be released closer to the date,” he said.

His remarks were delivered with the confidence of an artist who knows the value of his craft and the significance of the path he has walked. For Riderman, the 20-year celebration is more than a simple anniversary it is the story of his life and the legacy he continues to build.

A Celebration That Will Unite Generations

Riderman said the upcoming concert will bring together artists from different eras—those he started with and those shaping today’s music scene. “The plan is already in motion. I won’t only be performing with artists from my generation such as P-Fla and Bull Dogg. We will also share the stage with younger talents who are now making their mark. We worked with the older ones in the past, and we are working with the new generation today. I hope everyone will be there to support us,” he noted.

The event is already being anticipated as a powerful moment to revisit Riderman’s musical history, connecting two generations of Rwandan hip-hop and showcasing how his style and brand have evolved over time.
