The “Calm down” crooner however received backlash, as many accused him of intentionally ignoring Mohbad’s message.
Reactions: “Rema chose to ignore”
@NuTyrant: Rema is a big clown, he ignored Mohbad’s Dm and now he’s telling us. A very useless piece of information.
@fola1: Why are y’all attacking Rema becuase he didn’t respond to Mohbad message. I’m sure he didn’t see it and we all know their managers do the most.
@is_adewale: Wait, Rema really left Mohbad’s DM unopened till his last breath? This life, just have money!!
@abazwhyllzz: Rema is a human being, he no be robot. He can’t read or reply all DM’s. Everyone has unread messages in their DMs too.
@effizzzyy: They’re dragging rema for his tribute on IG. He said he never saw the DMs Mohbad sent until after his death and Nigerians aren’t having it.
@attah_akor: Ngl that DM part that Rema added to about Mohbad was unnecessarv.
@Sxmto: Rema, there was no need to tell us that Lmao. Just say your RIP and get on with it.
