Nigerian hip-hop legend Eedris Abdulkareem has addressed the issue of his junior colleague Burna Boy and the music industry.
A snippet from an unreleased episode of the popular podcast The Honest Bunch saw the Jaga Jaga hitmaker touch the misconception the Grammy award-winning singer has with his colleagues.
In 2020, the Atlantic Records star buzzed the internet after he claimed no single one of his senior colleagues paved the way for him.
According to Burna, nobody in the Nigerian music industry has ever done anything for him because artists were busy doing things for themselves or hating on another’s progress.
The incoming podcast set to be released on Monday, February 19, saw Eedris lash out at his junior colleague in that regard.
His words:
“You hear someone like Burna Boy say no one helped him in Nigeria. That’s stupid talk.”
