Grammy-winning singer, Damini Ogulu, widely known as Burna Boy has fired back at Eedris Abdulkareem over his recent statement about him.
Burna Boy had made a statement in 2020, where he garnered attention by asserting that none of his senior colleagues had paved the way for his success.
This remarks ignited debate across the industry, with Burna Boy claiming that he received minimal support and faced animosity from peers.
Eedris Abdulkareem, in a snippet of an unreleased episode of the Honest Bunch podcast, addressed the controversial statement.
The veteran artist condemned Burna Boy’s comments as “stupid talk,” expressing disbelief at the notion that the Nigerian music industry had not provided any assistance to the acclaimed singer.
“You hear someone like Burna Boy say nobody helped him in Nigeria. That is a stupid talk,” he said.
Responding to Eedris Abdulkareem’s remark, Burna Boy took his X page to hit back at the ace singer.
The 32-year-old said he did not blame Eedris for his comment but the people who donated money to settle his hospital bills when he underwent a kidney transplant in 2022.
Burna Boy was referring to when Abdulkareem was diagnosed with kidney failure and a fundraiser was garnered for the singer.
He added that he wished his colleague has the audacity to step his foot where he normally hangout so they would settle their scores physically.
“Abdul Kareem abi wetin dem call your papa, I no blame you, I blame people wey pay for your hospital bills. And I wish say you be person wey fit dey enter the kind places where I dey dey.
Make we use mistake jam,” he said in a deleted-tweet.
