Sulaimon Shekoni Solomon, better known as Khaid, has revealed how, as a struggling artist, he asked colleague Rema to send his freestyle video to music mogul Don Jazzy in order to be signed to Mavin Records.
He claimed he was desperate enough to give Rema his first N1 million if he could have enabled his record deal with Mavin, but he never received his messages.
Khaid revealed this in the newest episode of the Zero Conditions podcast, which is now signed to comedian Sydney Talker’s label, Neville Records.

He said, “Rema if you are seeing this, please take heart. I actually went to Rema’s [Instagram] DM one day with my old account and sent my freestyle video to him. I said, ‘Bro, I know that you trap like me. Please, help me show this video to Don Jazzy. Let him sign me so that we will be in the same record label.’
“He didn’t see the message. At that time, I was texting him with all emotions in me, bro. I was texting him with prayers. I was willing to give him my first 1 million.”
