Rema urged fans to join the #KELEBUChallenge by creating fun and creative dance videos for the upcoming track and tagging him in their posts. According to the singer, the dance should be simple enough for anyone to replicate but catchy enough to go viral.
The announcement immediately stirred excitement online. In a humorous twist, a clip of the late Nollywood legend John Okafor, fondly remembered as Mr Ibu, resurfaced on social media. Fans jokingly nominated the comic actor as the “winner” of the challenge, with some calling on Rema to award the prize to Mr Ibu’s family.
