Nigerian singer, Rema has called out DJ Neptune for releasing his old song without his permission.
Rema, in a series of tweets on his official Twitter handle, disclosed DJ Neptune went ahead to release his song despite pleading for it not to be released. The singer then asked DJ Neptune to delete the song, never minding the enemies that could bring him.
His tweets read: “With all due respect, chief! Dropped my old record without due process? I’m not happy at all.
“Don’t violate the codes, can’t drop my song without my notice; can’t even remember the last time we spoke big bro. I pleaded with my manager behind the scenes when you all tagged me before it dropped, you still went ahead!”
Rema
Rema further warned DJ Neptune not to ‘ride on his humility’ and stressed that he can go to war when it comes to his art.
“This GAME! Don’t ride on my humility, there are some things I can’t be talked out of and number 1 is my ART, if you’re not ok with it then if it’s war, it’s WAR. Don J go vex for me; Baba J forgive me but this, no join at all”.
Rema
Rema further requested that his song be taken down from DJ Neptune’s platform where the song has been published. Mostly writing in pidgin English, he wrote:
“Lastly, TAKE MY SHIT DOWN! I’m going to make new enemies after this, but God big pass INDUSTRY. This game has slapped me too many times on the cheek. I am quiet because I get people interest to protect and a family to feed. Abeg I sabi mind my business but make nobody vex me”.
