Grammy-winning singer, Damini Ogulu popularly known as Burna Boy, has criticised his colleague, Eedris Abdulkareem, who tagged his statement from 2020 about no artist paving the way for his career as ‘stupid talk’.
Eedris made this statement in an interactive session during “The Honest Bunch” podcast.
The Jaga Jaga hitmaker addressed the misconception that Burna Boy has with his colleagues.
In 2020, the ‘Last Last’ crooner caused a stir on the internet when he claimed that none of his senior colleagues paved the way for him.
According to Burna, in the Nigerian music scene, nobody ever lent him a hand because everyone was too caught up either in their pursuits or in begrudging others’ success.

The podcast slated for release on Monday, February 19, saw Eedris unleashing his wrath at his younger counterpart regarding his statement.
He said: “You hear someone like Burna Boy say no one helped him in Nigeria. That’s stupid talk.”
After Abdulkareem’s remarks, Burna Boy took to social media platform X to fire back.
In a now-deleted post, he not only threatened to settle the score with the veteran rapper whenever they crossed paths but also rubbed salt in the wound by mentioning Abdulkareem’s recent kidney battle.
His statement on social media read: “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 kam.”
