Mavin Records-signed singer, Divine Ikubor, bettter known as Rema, has accused DJ Neptune of copyright infringement.
In a Twitter callout on Friday, Rema said the disc jockey released their collaborative song on his new album without his consent.
The 21-year-old singer also wondered why Neptune would drop the collaborative project despite the fact that they had not spoken for some time.
“With all due respect chief! Dropped my old record without due process? I’m not happy at all. @deejayneptune,” he wrote, in a series of tweets.

Rema further stated;
Don’t violate the codes, can’t drop my song without my notice, can’t even remember the last time we spoke big bro, I pleaded with my manager behind the scenes when y’all tagged me before it dropped, y’all still went ahead!
