Burna Boy, Eedris Abdulkareem in war of words over controversial podcast comment
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.
His words: “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 who donated money for the ‘Jaga Jaga’ singer’s 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.
