Friday 26th November 2021: Mavin Records star, Divine Ikubor professionally known as Rema, has called out popular Nigerian Disk jockey, DJ Neptune, for releasing a track he featured on without his permission.
The Talented act and ‘Bounce’ hit song crooner posted on his official Twitter page on Friday to vent his displeasure with the song released on DJ Neptune’s newly dropped album, Greatness 2.0.
“With all due respect chief! Dropped my old record without due process?!! I’m not happy at all. @deejayneptune,” he tweeted. “Don’t violate the codes, can’t drop my song without my notice, can’t even remember the last time we spoke big bro.”
Rema claimed he had made contact with DJ Neptune’s team before the song dropped, but they still went ahead releasing the song without his permission.
Rema, 21, also pleaded with his boss, Don Jazzy, to forgive him for the public call out while insisting that the DJ take the music down.
“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 it’s war, it’s war. Don J go vex for me, Baba forgive me but this no join at all.
“Lastly, take my sh*t down I’m finna make new enemies after this, but God big pass INDUSTRY.
“This GAME has slapped me too many times on the cheek, I dey quiet because I get people interest to protect and a family to feed. Abeg I sabi mind my business but make nobody vex me o,” he wrote in pidgin.
Greatness 2.0 is DJ Neptune’s second studio album, it dropped in the early hours of Friday, featuring the likes of Patoranking, Simi, Yemi Alade, Adekunle Gold, and other Nigerian A-list singers.
The collaboration with Rema, titled For You, is the fourth song on the 16-track album.
On his part, Dj Neptune is yet to make an official reply to the accusations by Rema as of the time of filing this report.
