Nigerian hitmaker Rexxie set the internet buzzing over the weekend after teasing an unreleased collaboration between Rema and Zlatan Ibile, giving fans a surprise taste of what has been quietly sitting in the vault for years.
The Grammy-nominated producer previewed the track during a livestream session, instantly grabbing attention. Recorded roughly five years ago, around 2021, the song carries a familiar yet refreshing feel. Zlatan delivers his trademark street-hop flair with Yoruba-laced lines, while Rema floats effortlessly with smooth, melodic hooks, all riding on Rexxie’s energetic, club-ready production.
It didn’t take long for the snippet to escape the livestream. Short clips quickly made their way across social media, where music pages and fans reposted the audio nonstop. As expected, the reactions were mixed but loud. Some listeners praised the record’s timeless sound, while others jokingly begged the artists to leave it unreleased, fearing it might disrupt current playlists or expectations.
The teaser surfaced not long after Rexxie dropped his third studio album, BIG VYBZ, in October 2025. While the project highlighted his growth and knack for blending Afrobeats with global sounds, the Rema and Zlatan collaboration was notably absent.
This omission has fueled speculation among fans, with many suggesting clearance challenges or deliberate timing as possible reasons the song never saw the light of day — a familiar story in the music industry.
For now, neither Rexxie, Rema, nor Zlatan has said anything publicly about plans to release the full track. Still, in an era where old snippets can suddenly go viral and dominate charts years later, many believe this long-forgotten 2021 record could yet have its moment if it eventually drops.
