Incidents
On 7th April 2021, the Rwandan broadcaster confirmed country's withdrawal from the contest due to lack of interested singers and weak results in the course of the last editions. The next day, an announcement appeared on broadcaster's official website which stated that they are not planning to withdraw and that Stromae would represent them with the song "Tous les mêmes". The song was rejected by OAUB due to being too popular, thus the nation submitted a new entry - "Snack" by Andy Bumuntu. The following day the article mysteriously disappeared from the website and a new one was posted which once again confirmed country's withdrawal. Finally on 10th April, a new head of the delegation officially confirmed country's participation again.
