REALLY!!! “I Paved Way For Burna Boy, Wizkid, Davido, Others” – Eedris Abdulkareem Reveals

Veteran musician Eedris Abdulkareem claims that he played a pivotal role in propelling Nigerian artists like Davido, Burna Boy, and Wizkid to international recognition.

Abdulkareem asserts that his rebellion against mistreatment by concert promoters in 2004, which led to a confrontation with American rapper 50 Cent and his G-Unit crew in Nigeria, laid the groundwork for the success of these artists.

Despite acknowledging the personal consequences of his actions on his career, Abdulkareem views it as a necessary sacrifice that ultimately paved the way for the rise of stars like Burna Boy, Wizkid, and Davido.

He made these statements during an interview with The Honest Bunch Podcast.

In his words;

“You heard someone like Burna Boy said nobody helped him in Nigeria. Would you have been a star without some people starting the revolution? That is a stupid talk.”

“You wouldn’t have been where you are if we didn’t make this industry what it is; if we didn’t fight for it. Unfortunately, most of them don’t appreciate it. And I don’t give a dime.”

“It [fighting for Nigerian music industry] affected my career but it was a beautiful sacrifice that gave birth to Davido, Boy, Wizkid, and everybody today. For me, what’s more important is that I have done what God asked me to do and our music is now allover the world.”

“I have opened the road for them. It’s their responsibility to appreciate the fight. And if them don’t, I don’t give a dime.”
