After years of public tension, subliminal shots, and unresolved bitterness, Nigerian rapper Oladips has finally extended an olive branch to his former label boss, Reminisce, signalling what could be the end of one of Nigerian hip-hop’s most drawn-out feuds.
The apology came through Oladips’ newly released single, Iba Paris 26, where the rapper dropped his guard and spoke candidly about the fallout.
In the song, he admitted to his own missteps and expressed deep regret over how things eventually fell apart between them.
According to Oladips, this public confession was not his first attempt at making peace. He revealed that he had tried repeatedly to reach Reminisce privately over the years but failed, leaving him with no option but to use music as his final channel for reconciliation.
“I tried to make contact severally but it didn’t work. This is me saying it openly,” Oladips said in the track.
Oladips was signed to LRR/EDGE Records, the label owned by Reminisce, at an early stage of his career. What initially looked like a promising partnership soon unraveled, with cracks becoming visible not long after.
By 2019, the situation had spilt into the public space. Oladips accused the label of neglect and financial hardship, claiming that despite releasing popular songs, he struggled to survive while under the contract.
He also alleged that efforts to part ways with the label were frustrated, further intensifying the conflict.
Not long after, the rapper wiped all references to LRR from his social media pages and released a series of songs widely perceived as direct attacks on Reminisce. In those tracks, he accused his former boss of exploitation and making life difficult during his time on the label.
Those releases marked the beginning of a bitter feud that played out openly across interviews, social media, and music, quickly becoming one of the most talked-about label fallouts in Nigerian hip-hop.
While Reminisce largely maintained silence, the tension never fully disappeared. In 2022, the conflict resurfaced when fans interpreted some of Reminisce’s lyrics as subtle jabs at former signees, prompting Oladips to fire back through music once again.
By then, the dispute had dragged on for over five years, with Oladips at different times claiming that the rift affected his standing in the industry. He alleged that his issues with Reminisce influenced his relationships with other top artists.
However, Iba Paris 26 tells a different story. This time, Oladips speaks from a place of reflection rather than resentment, acknowledging that growth, time, and personal struggles have reshaped his outlook. Instead of reopening old wounds, the rapper appears focused on healing, choosing peace over prolonging a feud that has lingered for far too long.
