Kenyan content creator and social media personality Remcy Don, famed for his striking resemblance to American singer Jason Derulo, recently made a playful but ambitious request of his international look-alike.
For his birthday, the influencer released a viral, eight-point wish list on social media aimed directly at the global star.
The celebrity, known for his charismatic dance videos and comedic skits, rose to prominence primarily through TikTok and Instagram by leveraging his unique similarity to Derulo.
His latest request is a direct engagement with the American musician.
The list detailed numerous scenarios, all centred on the ultimate goal of meeting the ‘Wiggle’ singer.
A Quest for the Original
All the points of Remcy Don’s list set a clear agenda for the desired meeting. He wished to meet Derulo for various reasons, ranging from his admission that they are twins to having an opportunity to do a music collab.
“I wish I could meet my look-alike, Jason Derulo. I wish I could meet my look-alike Jason Derulo — maybe he'll finally admit we're twins. I wish I could meet my look-alike Jason Derulo and do a collabo called "Don Derulo Remix". I wish I could meet my look-alike Jason Derulo — so we can confuse the internet properly.”
The social media post concluded with a powerful call-to-action to his extensive fan base:
“If anyone knows him, tag him—tell his Kenyan brother Remcy Don the Tycoon is waiting!”
The Eight Points of Irony and Ambition
Beyond the collaboration and the twin gag, the wish list included more humorous and pointed requests. He requested to meet Derulo to "ask him who copied whose dance moves".
Other points expressed a desire to confirm if they "share the same barber" and for Derulo to "invite me to Hollywood for lunch".
From Viral Fame to Tycoon Status
Remcy Don’s recent online activity shows his focus is not solely on celebrity look-alikes. He has been establishing himself as an entrepreneur in the matatu industry.

He recently shared an emotional, poignant moment that resonated widely with his followers. The influencer posted a photograph of himself in a luxury car, driving next to a brightly decorated matatu that he owns.
He revealed his strong feelings about the milestone, noting that he had once been forced to walk on that very road.
"There is no better feeling than seeing your own bus on a road you once used to walk on... I pray we all make it, guys".
The Kenyan Wishlist Trend
Remcy Don joins a growing list of Kenyan public figures who use their birthdays to release unique wish lists, often engaging fans in the process.
Actress Jacky Vike, widely known as Awinja, recently released a list that was less about international celebrity meetings and more focused on culture.
Her wish list was centred on traditional Kenyan delicacies. It included indigenous chicken (kuku kienyeji) prepared in specific ways—such as being roasted or cooked using firewood—and traditional accompaniments like ugali and sugarcane (miwa).
Others who released birthday wish-lists include Claudia Naisabwa, Abel Mutua, andMwende Macharia, among others.
