On Saturday, November 27, 2021, Rema's manager, Sean Okeke responded DJ Neptune's statement, dated November 26, 2021, which in itself, was a response to Jonzing act, Rema's Twitter rant, about 'For You,' a song which features him, on Neptune's sophomore album, Greatness 2.0.
Okeke, who works with Jonzing writes a statement, in which he refers to Neptune as his "big bro." The story appears to be one of a family disagreement, rather than an all out blood-thirsty war.
Okeke's full statement reads thus;
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
Firstly, I acknowledge that I and my big bro- DJ Neptune had conversations regarding the said collaboration as well as the song release. However at the time of recording in 2020, we had hoped that song will be released early but that wasn't the case, in view of the revised timeline, the artist did not feel the song was good enough and would require some brushing up and urged the team to communicate same with my Big Bro.
I made it known to DJ Neptune some time during our conversation that the song can’t come out again as we don’t have anymore free release window available for the song and that the artiste also feels the song is already old hence we don’t want it out there, and promised to to follow up with the artist & label with hope of convincing all parties to approve the song release.
Since an official approval was not released nor split sheets signed, I felt the song won’t be released anymore.
Looking back at all that just happened , I really I held my ground that the artiste doesn’t really want the song released anymore which would have made DJ Neptune focus getting other songs for his album.
In conclusion, I wish to apologize to all parties involved and seek the peaceful resolution of the matter with the song in question taken down in respect of the artist’s Wish.
