Comedian Rapindady Accuses Mr Remote of Ignoring Him After Rising to Fame

Nigerian comedian and MC Jolomi Rapheal Oluwafemi, popularly known as Rapindady, has opened up about his strained relationship with content creator Mr Remote.

Speaking in a recent interview, he expressed disappointment over how the skit maker allegedly cut ties with him after gaining fame.

Rapindady recounted how he had housed Mr Remote in his three-bedroom apartment for several months when the latter faced accommodation issues. He noted that they shot skits together during that period, and he supported him through difficult times.

He, however, claimed that after Mr Remote relocated to Lagos and became successful, he stopped picking his calls and would often give excuses like being on set.

Rapindady added that he is not the only one with such complaints, as others who helped Mr Remote in the past have also voiced similar concerns.

He said:
"I don't want to talk much about Remote because he's someone I've loved so much from the beginning. I can't say he's being childish. He stayed in my place at one point. I can't remember how many months he spent in my house when he had accommodation issues at the time. I was still single, and I was staying in a three-bedroom apartment. And when he came, we shot a few skits at the time. He told me a lot about many people in the industry. Now, ever since Remote blew up and relocated to Lagos, he stopped picking my calls. And I wish he could come out to say what I did wrong."

"You stayed in my house and I did not chase you out. You left on your own. I just want to believe that fame has gotten to him. I'm not the only one complaining. A lot of people who also helped him in the past are also complaining. Anytime I call him, he keeps telling me he's on set. That was five years ago, and after that, I stopped calling him."
