Face-off with 50 Cent: How Eedris Abdulkareem betrayed us — Paul Okoye

COMBO: Paul Okoye, Eedris Abdulkareem, 50-Cent




Singer Paul Okoye aka Rudeboy has waded into the rift between his colleagues, Eedris Abdulkareem, and Burna Boy.

In a snippet of an unreleased episode of the Honest Bunch podcast, Abdulkareem addressed a remark made by Burna Boy in 2020.

Burna Boy had declared that nobody paved the way for him in Nigeria.

But in the recent podcast, he criticized the Grammy award winner for making such a statement.

Commenting on Sunday in a post via Instagram, Rudeboy accused Abdulkareem of taking delight in abusing his colleagues.

He stressed that the veteran singer had insulted his group, Psquare; 2Face; Timaya; Dbanj, and now Burna Boy.

According to him, the ˜Jaga Jaga hitmaker kept claiming he fought for the Nigerian music industry whereas he was the one who betrayed his colleagues by going behind them to accept peanut for a 50 Cent show 20 years ago, after they had already agreed on lucrative performance fees.

Rudeboy said he had been silent for too long, but it was now time to speak up due to Abdulkareems entitlement mentality.

Every eke market day we go de hear ˜I fought for the industry. Na me cook de food wey una dey chop. I go just de laugh.

Now you wan reply with music you go reply taya !!! Over 20yrs I have kept silent about what really transpired,how we top Nigerian artists as of then agreed with one voice, about payment conditions and treatments on same 50cent show, only for this greedy guy to go behind and collected peanut.. you de expect vip treatment ontop peanut payment?

You keep insulting any artiste at every opportunity, if is not Tuface, is Psquare, Timaya, Dbanj, now na Burna¦ you go explain taya!, he wrote in pidgin. (Daily Trust)
