Nigerian Comedian and label boss-turned-politician Eromosele DanielI, popularly known as Pikolo has called out his ex-signee, Rema, for trashing the time that they spent together as the singer celebrated his 2nd year in the music industry.
Recall that Rema had marked his 2nd anniversary on the 22nd of March, recalling that it all started with his self-named EP which was released under Don Jazzy’s Mavin lable on March 22nd, 2019, a four-track body of work with a sonic palette that goes from Afropop, trap and smooth Bollywood soundtracks.
2 years in the Game, it all started with this EP. so many wins & trials still I’m Grateful to God for his Grace, for giving me an amazing Team, for blessing me with a supportive fanbase & granting me wisdom that caused me to grow. Greater heights ahead, to God be the glory“, he tweeted.

Taking to Twitter 2 days after to react, Pikolo wrote, “It’s sad that I invested my hard earned money on heisrema almost lost my life when I was shuttling between Benin and Lagos in promoting Rema and AlphaP . Today rema is claiming to have started music 2 years ago and this is one of the reasons most Edo men are scared in investing in entertainment in the state“.
According to history, the 21-year-old had been singing and freestyling since he was 11 and performed at church functions as a kid. “Along with former bandmate Alpha P, he formed a group called RNA and together they won a talent hunt competition called Dream Alive with Pikolo Season 2 organized by the comedian. Following their win at the competition, they got to record their first official song Mercy and shoot a video for it. They even performed at the Glo Slide and Bounce in Benin and Lagos. They were also enjoying a lot of airplay on the Edo Broadcasting Service channels. Unfortunately, neither of the boys would ‘blow’ just yet until Rema tagged Don Jazzy and D’Prince in his freestyle”, Akindare Okunola wrote back in November 2020.

“After that, D’Prince travelled down to Benin to see Rema’s parents and offer him an opportunity. The rest as they say is history. In March 2019, he signed a deal with D’Prince’s Jonzing World – the first imprint label under Mavin Global and released his debut EP self-titled “Rema.” Since then Rema has quickly grown to become the next international superstar. He’s performed all over the country, made it to Barack Obama’s playlist and won the Next Rated at the 2019 Headies. The 19-year old singer has brought new energy levels to the Mavin engine room and evidence of that is there for the world to see. But none of that would’ve been possible if not for D’Prince. Because of him, Mavin Records has found its next megastar and the future certainly looks bright for all the parties involved”, he added.
Meanwhile in an earlier post 2 days before the anniversary, Pikolo has shared a picture of himself and the RNA duo, saying he did his best. “@heisrema @whoisalphap & myself during the struggle days in Lagos. ? we did our best”, he captioned the picture.
