Nigerian songwriter, Rapper Aboriomoh Femi Raymond, known by his stage name Dremo, has shed light on the reasons behind his decision to part ways with Davido Music Worldwide (DMW), revealing that the label’s management prioritized the career of its CEO, singer Davido, over other artists.
In a recent interview with Echo Room, Dremo explained that the label’s emphasis on Davido’s projects often left other talents under-supported.
“I didn’t collaborate with Idowest, who was my label mate, because at that time we were all striving to stay afloat in the music industry. Even DMW as a whole didn’t collaborate much. We never had a record label album. The management focused only on Davido,” he said.
Dremo also noted that his expectations from the label were largely unmet. “The label didn’t give me money. It was more like a platform. I didn’t get what I wanted from the label,” he added.
Reflecting on his experience, Dremo said it has shaped his decision to remain independent, allowing him full control over his music and career trajectory.
