Nigerian Singer, Rema is setting the record straight following his rant where he called out DJ Neptune for releasing his song without his permission.
Recall that in the early hours of November 26, 2021, Nigerian star, Rema, took to his Twitter page to express displeasure at the release of a DJ Neptune record, which features him.
Around the same time, the star DJ and emPawa frontliner had released his sophomore studio album, Greatness 2.0. On it, a track titled ‘For You‘ features the MAVIN/Jonzing act.
According to Rema, the song titled “For You’ was added to the album without his permission and knowledge. Adding that he and Neptune haven’t spoken in a while.
He also made demands for the song to be removed.
Media personality, Do2dtun took to Twitter to chastise Rema over the calling out, telling that he needed to find a better approach on this kind of issue.
He also that when Rema and Neptune recorded the song, nobody was there and therefore he should have sent his grievances to Neptune’s representatives.
He wrote;
“I love Rema alot. I hosted his first ever listening. He just needs to find a better approach on things like this. You all recorded this together, we were not there. He also needs to address things with his representatives. Trust me, this won’t be more than a mere miscommunication”
Rema in response that they never recorded the song together, nor was he paid for the collaboration.
He also stated that he never signed any documents and neither did the producer ask for his consent before releasing his vocals.
In his words;
“OG we didn’t record it together, neither was I paid, neither did I sign any document, neither did the producer ask for my consent before releasing my stems. I was crossed, I’m not a hot head, I’m just a kid vouching for my Art that’s all, I’m not a disrespectful person.”
