Nigerian Rapper,
Eedris Abdulkarem, formerly of
The Remedies, came out last week to openly diss D Banj at the rally against the federeal government over the hike in fuel price in Lagos. Eedris has never been the one to shy away from airing his views on any matter, so this shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. His 2002 track,
"jaga jaga", which had lyrics attacking the then government even caught the presidents attention...which led to
President Obasonjo replying him in an interview saying
- it is Eedris that is "jaga jaga". Anyway,
D Banj made a remix of hit song,
"scape goat", to support the current presidents campaign in 2010. And that is what
Abdulkarem is pissed off about right now.
Read his comments at the rally below-
Eedris got on stage and said ‘…and all of una wey sing for
Goodluck, F*** that bastard D’banj for collecting Money from Goodluck,
God will punish you’.
They called me too but I turned them down, D’banj can’t be here because he knows he has disappointed the people’
People might say that that's a bit harsh, but you have to know how painful it is from Eedris point of view. Look at this way...d banj has all those millions of fans that would do what ever he says, and he goes ahead and endorses a president a lot of people believe is just a stooge for the out-going president...how do you think that would make another musician that fights for the people feel? If d banj collected millions to do that campaign, he definitely has betrayed his people...or more like sold his rights.
i would like to get your opinions on this issue.
