Singer Mavo has told critics digging through his old tweets to find another job. After a 2023 reply calling Rema’s Charm “mid” roared back onto timelines, the 22-year-old answered with a flex and a warning.
The spark came on Tuesday, September 22, 2026, when a user posted a screenshot and screen recording of Mavo dismissing Rema’s then-unreleased single.
“Screenshot & screen recording of Mavo calling Rema’s ‘Charm’ Mid just resurfaced. It’s about to be a long day,” the page wrote.
The original jab is dated April 25, 2023. Rema had just teased Charm for that Friday. Under a fan comment, Mavo wrote, “midRave & Roses Ultra, went to number one on the TurnTable Top 100, and later crossed 200 million Spotify streams. Three years on, the one-word review looks smaller than the record.
Another old line joined the pile-on. In September 2024 Mavo replied to a post with, “and the babe mid.” Users dragged that one too, asking how a man they now rate as mid-looking got that confident. The two posts fused into one argument of the internet remembering what artists would rather outgrow.
On Wednesday morning Mavo, born Oseremen Marvin Ukanigbe on November 1, 2003, stopped explaining the jokes and started scoring the scoreboard.
“People just wake up and start crying for nothing!! Oga, go and work!!”
Then the line that travelled.
“I have a record label and a storefront at 22, please get your life together and stop dissecting my past thoughts.”
That record-label claim tracks with how his career is now described. After campus SoundCloud days and the 2023 mixtape Ukanigbe, he broke through with Escaladizzy, then stacked Shakabulizzy, Money Constant with Wizkid and Body (Danz) with CKay. Reports tie him to his own imprint, Kilogbede Records, in a licence deal with Inner Circle.
The clapback did not end the autopsy. Some users said a public tweet stays public.
“Once you put something online, people are allowed to look back at it, especially when your present position is different. Having a record label and storefront at 22 doesn’t erase what you said at 19,” one reply read.
Another put it colder:
“The internet simply has a better memory than you do.”
Others asked why he deleted posts if he still stands by them, and demanded an apology instead of a résumé. A few framed the pile-on as hate from people who cannot fault the new music.
