Nigerian rapper Dremo has disclosed that Olamide has not responded to his messages since the release of his controversial track ‘Man2Man’.
The revelation came during a recent interview on Clout Africa, where Dremo reflected on his attempts to secure a feature from the YBNL boss.
‘Man2Man’ dropped on January 9, 2026, and quickly gained traction through a viral challenge that saw other artists jumping on the beat.
In the song’s lyrics, Dremo directly addresses Olamide: “Baddo, been trying to get a verse from you / Baba, you Jonze me.” He notes Olamide’s lack of writer’s block while expressing disappointment over the unfulfilled collaboration.
Dremo explained that he reached out multiple times but received no reply after the track’s release. He emphasized his respect for Olamide as an “idan” while airing the grievance openly.
The song goes beyond Olamide, touching on tensions with artists like Oxlade, BNXN, Odumodublyck, Davido, CKay, Sarkodie, and others. Dremo frames it as clearing the air “artist to artist or man to man.”
He references past promises from Davido and issues with other peers, positioning the record as a candid industry statement rather than pure diss.
Reactions on social media have been mixed. Some praise Dremo for speaking his truth and keeping hip-hop alive, while others question the wisdom of calling out a veteran like Olamide publicly.
Olamide is yet to issue any official response to Dremo’s claims or the track. The silence has fueled further speculation in entertainment circles.
Dremo, formerly associated with Davido’s DMW, has been vocal about his career struggles and desire for authentic connections in the industry. This latest episode highlights ongoing frictions beneath the surface of Nigerian rap collaborations.
Fans and commentators note the track’s impact, with many challenging others to respond in kind. It has reignited debates about loyalty, promises, and accountability among top acts.
As the story develops, industry watchers await any potential reconciliation or further exchanges. Dremo’s move underscores a bolder approach from mid-tier rappers seeking visibility and respect.
The incident adds to Dremo’s history of addressing perceived slights, from label exits to peer disputes. No pity is extended in the cutthroat world of Nigerian entertainment, where public call-outs often define careers.
