Burna Boy saying no one helped him in Nigeria is stupid talk – Eedris Abdulkareem [VIDEO]
  • Eedris Abdulkareem has slammed Burna Boy over his past controversial statement about how he was treated in the country’s music industry.
  • Two years ago, Burna Boy pointed out that no one helped him into the spotlight during his humble beginnings.
  • Reacting in a recent interview, Eedris called out the Last Last crooner, stating that his statement is “stupid talk”.

Nigerian hip-hop maestro, 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 Boy, 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.
