Nigerian singer Burna Boy has hit hard at his colleague, Eedris Abdulkareem, over yet-to-be-released podcast comments he made 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.
Meanwhile in a clip of The Honest Bunch Podcast’s upcoming episode’s teaser which went viral on Saturday, Abdulkareem slammed Burna Boy for saying no Nigerian artist helped him.
“You hear someone like Burna Boy say no one helped him in Nigeria. That’s stupid talk,” Abdulkareem said in the viral clip.
Reacting, Burna Boy, in a now-deleted post shared via his verified X handle, said he did not blame Abdulkareem for his comment but the people who donated money to settle his hospital bills when he underwent a kidney transplant in 2022.
The ‘African Giant’ crooner, who is currently in the Bahamas for a show, said he wished Abdulkareem could be in such a place so that he would settle their scores physically.
He wrote in Pidgin: “Abdul Kareem abi wettin 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, make we use mistake jam.”
