During a recent conversation with Echo Room, Dremo characterized his tenure at DMW as a platform that lacked the comprehensive support system he had anticipated, resulting in a sense of unmet expectations.

The label's operational priorities, according to Dremo, were heavily skewed towards its founder, Davido, leaving other artists to forge their own paths with limited backing.

Dremo also highlighted the absence of synergy among DMW's roster of artists, noting that collaborative efforts were scarce despite the presence of multiple talented acts.

He specifically mentioned his inability to collaborate with fellow rapper Idowest during their time at the label, attributing this to the fact that each artist was focused on advancing their individual careers rather than cultivating a collective sound.

Dremo candidly stated, "I didn’t get what I wanted from the label," and acknowledged that this experience has profoundly influenced his perspective on the music industry.

Following his departure from DMW, Dremo has opted to maintain his independence, prioritizing creative control and personal direction over affiliation with a traditional record label.
