Nigerian rappers Ice Prince and Skibii have mocked famed rapper Eedris Abdulkareem for his latest statement.
In a recent interview, Eedris said that he was the driving force behind the change that resulted in global exposure for Wizkid, Davido, Burna Boy, and other artists.
He credited himself for their success, claiming that his protest against concert promoters’ mistreatment of Nigerian musicians in 2005, particularly his confrontation with 50 Cent and his members, was a watershed moment for them.
He added that Nigerian artists are now respected around the world as a result of his sacrifice, which tragically ended his career.
“I am the most beautiful sacrifice that gave birth to Davido, Wizkid, Burna Boy, and everybody today. Now they’re flying their own private jet. If you don’t fight for your industry, nobody will fight for you. Unfortunately, most of them didn’t appreciate”.
“It affected my career but it was a beautiful sacrifice that gave birth to Burna Boy, Wizkid, Davido ….”
