Why would you want to poop on someone?
[The People Vs.]
[Rema]
[Noisey asked Rema to respond to YouTube comments]
[on his video for ‘Dumebi’]
Yo, this is Noisey’s
and we’re looking at the comments from
Let’s do it.
KingOfAesthetics, “This song makes me want to jerk off
to my physics homework.”
I don’t understand.
I’m confused.
KingOfAesthetics, you’re weird, you’re a weird dude.
So James Ethe... what type of name is this, is this Nigerian or...
-It’s English.
Wow.
“This **** sucks.”
Are you sure this comment is on my video?
Where did you find this comment from?
I guess I will make him proud, you know, along the line.
I will make songs that don’t suck.
I understand, he just needs more time.
Keo MacFarlane, “what a crock of ****!”
Wow.
I want to go Benin on you, I want to go Edo State on you.
It gets too intense and I get pissed off,
but nah, nothing.
Nothing, it’s cool.
I watch your show.
It’s a scary place to be,
this seat is a very scary seat to sit down.
Nick Wilde, “Can I poop on you?”
What the ****?
Why would you want to poop on someone?
No, you can’t poop on me.
Like, why would you poop on me?
Can you poop on... “Can I poop on you?”
Come on there’s a toilet, go to the toilet, that’s all.
M M, “This man slaps harder than my mom.”
A Nigerian mother’s slap...
it can’t be explained, bro.
Most especially the ones, not on your face, on your back.
And you’re not wearing a t-shirt or anything. It’s like, boom.
God, it’s crazy.
My mum, she used to use a hanger, plastic hanger, my God.
Mum, you know you’re a Christian, why are you flogging me like this?
I was crying that day.
Lavida Muna, “I played this song in my grandma’s funeral,
now she is alive again.”
Glory to God.
Hallelujah.
Course you know it’s a joke, bro.
Naima Kumi, “I don’t know, it’s just something about Rema,
he looks innocent and sexy at the same time.
But I don’t have a crush on him,
it’s just his expressions are so cute.
Sis, you have a crush on me.
Just stop beating around the bush.
You love me, you can’t deny the fact. And I love you too.
Let's move on.
James Davies,
“When he said p - o - u - g - b - d - e - h - h...” ah, come on, bro.
He said, “I really felt that.”
OK, I didn’t understand, I didn’t understand what you spelt, but...
Dumebi, dumebi
[vibe]
I like, I love that part, you know?
That part of the song is like the one key part.
I’m glad you feel that, it’s lit.
And to be honest, I can’t actually spell that part, too.
It’s a vibe, you get me?
Thugger Thugger, “I don’t understand nothing of the lyrics,
but keep playing the song 100 times a day.”
In Nigeria, we still play
We don’t know the Spanish, but it feels good, yeah?
It's a beautiful sound.
Words that aren’t actually making any sense but deliver the energy.
Just enjoy the moment and let it be.
As long as it makes you dance, I don’t see any other...
any other problem.
Paul Okocha, “Good video concept. Not every time shaking booty.”
Yeah.
I know I’m 19, but yeah, I’m still a kid.
And you know, a lot of kids are watching me so...
even if I have girls in my song, I tend to keep it, you know, balanced
and not too, you know, sexual and stuff.
Because that’s not what I’m trying to teach my generation.
Yeah, just keep it clean.
Christopher Ilogho,
This person should be Benin.
My city. If he don’t give me a good comment, I swear to God.
“Hopefully, he stays away from weed.”
See, my people always advise me, show me love, and you know...
they want me to go through the right paths.
Shoutout to everybody from Benin City,
I’ll continue to make you proud and you know,
of course, I’ll stay away from weed.
Onyeka Mbanu Jr.,
“Only two genres in this game right now, Afrobeat and the rest.”
Afrobeats to the world.
Boom boom boom.
Wow, this was amazing. Like, yo.
Big shout out to my fans, they love me, they care about me, you know?
The two percent hate.
I respect that, I just think they need more time
to get to understand me.
Thank you so much for your wonderful comments, I really appreciate that.
And God bless you, I’ll keep making you guys proud, for sure.
Bless up, one love.
Wow. Good comments.
