Shortly after the singer announced that he had hit 100 million streams on Audiomack, Rema took to Twitter to begin the rant, which resembles those by fellow musician, Kanye West.
He had a lot of things to get off his chest and had words for a number of people, including those who reportedly hate him for climbing to the top too quickly, a girl who rebuffed his attentions, and an engineer who abandoned him at the start of his career.
He also called for new generation artists to truly band together so that they will not be used for ‘entertainment’.
“Niggas don’t wanna see a kid win, they feel I got it too easy. I shower with my sweat, we go off on this side like the days in BENIN it got nun to do with my deal, come and sign these papers without a hustler spirit, you gone lose! Management gone change my password now lol
“I climbed this cliff with bunch of rejected beats. Some niggas hate me because of that.
“When we in the same room together don’t label me proud or rude because I don’t smile, talk or laugh to your jokes.
“I protect my spirit and my flesh, whatever scar I die with my reborn shall possess.
“Thank you OBAMA for seeing what I saw in Ironman, lot of niggas couldn’t. I was 18 when I made that song, the beat got 6 sounds. I’ll give that simple beat to half the game and I won’t get a record as strong as IRONMAN.
“Niggas feel I’m disrespectful, they want me to alert them before I drop.
“I done made millions before this fame, let no man feel this money changing me.
“I told D’prince sir I’m making money where I’m at I think I’m good. D’prince said to me stop what you’re doing and come to me boy “you’re the chosen one”, this music sh__ is gonna pay if you trust me!
“I done did Melodies that never existed in this world, go listen to my records. I swear them engineers thought I was crazy when I say turn off the auto tune.
“To the girl who rejected me before this fame, I’m eating the royalties off this pain. (WHY)
“Ozedikus took risks for me, he was under a management with guidelines. He sneaked beats to me so I could record when my first engineer left me because we couldn’t pay him at the time. All the beats Ozedikus sneaked are now HITS.”
He also apologized to someone called Eric for stealing his laptop in 2017. At a point during the rant, he snapped at someone (most likely his management) for trying to change the password to his Twitter account.
He continued:
“Eric, Sorry I stole your Laptop in 2017, I know you were trying to help me. My Mom had a child on the way, I was the only man in my family. They made fun of her because she got pregnant, I wanted to prove them wrong bro, I had to do it.
“When my late brother did house parties y’all came, when he died only 2 friends stood beside his death bed. That’s why I’m not comfortable around people, they love me because I have something to offer, You know yourselves don’t let me catch you!!!
