Burna Boy, Eedris Abdulkareem in war of words over controversial podcast comment

Burna Boy and Eedris Abdulkareem




Talented singer Burna Boy and Eedris Abdulkareem, his colleague, are at odds over a divisive comment that the latter made in an upcoming podcast.

In a clip from the most recent episode of The Honest Bunch Podcast, Eedris criticized the Grammy winner for saying that no one in Nigeria assisted him.

You hear someone like Burna Boy say nobody helped him in Nigeria, that is stupid talk, he said.

Burna Boy who was triggered by the statement immediately took to his X account to lash out at Eedris, saying that he blames those whodonated moneyfor the ˜Jaga Jaga singers hospital bills.

In the now-deleted post, the 32-year-old wrote: Abdul Kareem abi wetin dem dey call your papa, I no blame you. I blame people wey donate money for your hospital bills. And I wish say you be person wey fit dey enter the kind places wey i dey dey, make we use mistake jam.

Burna Boy once said he does not make money from Nigeria.(Vanguard)
