Nigerian Afrobeats star Rema has ignited a social media frenzy with his recently launched ₦12 million dance challenge for his latest single Kelebu. But in an unexpected and heartwarming twist, the spotlight has shifted to none other than the late comedic icon Mr Ibu, whose old dance clip is dominating the challenge.
Rema’s Kelebu Challenge is aimed at promoting creativity and dance around the new hit song. Fans and creators across Nigeria and beyond have been submitting their best moves in hopes of winning the grand ₦12 million prize. However, one entry has stolen the show — a throwback video of Mr Ibu (John Okafor)busting humorous yet rhythmically perfect moves, embodying both the comedic genius and raw cultural charisma he was known for.
The viral video has rapidly become the most liked and shared entry so far. Rema himself took notice and even pinned the clip to the top of his social media, an action fans are interpreting as a nod of approval. The post has sparked widespread nostalgia and admiration, with many fans expressing hopes that Rema might gift the prize money to Mr Ibu’s family in honor of his contribution to Nigerian entertainment.
“Mr Ibu was pure talent — from comedy to dance, he brought endless joy” one fan commented. “Even in death, Mr Ibu still dey win.”
Mr Ibu, who passed away earlier this year, was a beloved figure in Nollywood and known for his slapstick humor and larger-than-life personality. His dance moves, often laced with comic exaggeration, are now gaining renewed recognition as both entertaining and timeless.
The Kelebu dance challenge has not only highlighted Rema’s musical reach but also unintentionally revived appreciation for one of Nigeria’s most legendary entertainers. In a way, Mr Ibu’s posthumous viral moment proves that true talent never dies — it just dances its way into eternity.
