Genius Updates Credits After DPR IAN Reveals REM Never Produced His Songs
This week, Dabin (also known as DPR LIVE) released the diss track “WMP freestyle” as part of his new EP Giggles. This song is clearly about a person who scammed him out of money by “selling” his “voice,” and he mentioned former DPR business manager REM (also known as Scott Kim) by name with the line, “Taking a REM sleep.”

Dabin also performed the song live at the Giggles Listening Party, and he explicitly shouted out “F*ck REM!” This has sparked the fandom to continue calling out REM on social media.

Initially, some fans were disappointed since REM had produced some of their favorite DPR IAN songs. Well, that’s not actually the case.

DPR IAN cleared up this misconception. DPR IAN shared that he had seen “a lot of people think REM produced my songs for some reason.” He explained that only he and DPR CREAM produced them.
I don’t know where you get that from. He did not make any of my songs… at all. And, I told them to correct that on the credits. I have no idea why it’s written like that on the credits, but that’s absolutely not the case.

Finally, slowly but surely, DPR IAN’s songs are being updated to represent accurate information. Genius Korea updated X (formerly Twitter), confirming that the Moodswings In To Order credits have been updated so that REM is no longer credited.
