Popular Nigerian singer Paul Okoye of PSquare, aka Rude Boy, has criticised veteran rapper Eedris Abdulkareem following his attack on his younger colleague Burna Boy.
According to Paul, Eedris is always talking down on his colleagues including him and his twin brother Peter Okoye, aka Mr P.
He also cited an issue between American singer 50 Cent and Eedris which happened in 2004 and made him describe the ‘Jaga Jaga’ crooner as greedy.
In his bid to ask for recognition from younger colleagues, Rude Boy said he would get tired of his continuous lamentations. Henzodaily.ng earlier reported that another of Eedris’ colleague Jaywon had accused him of being arrogant, just like Burna Boy he complained about.
The ‘Reason With Me’ crooner wrote on Instagram.
“Every eke market day, we go dey hear ‘I fought for the industry, na me cook the food wey una dey chop’. I go just dey laugh. Now you wan reply with music. You go reply taya! For over 20 years, I have kept silent about what really transpired, how we top Nigerian artistes as of then agreed with one voice about payment conditions and treatments on same 50 cent show, only for this greedy guy to go behind and collect peanut. You dey expect VIP treatment on top payment treatment. You keep insulting every artist at every opportunity. If it is not PSquare, it is Tuface, D’Banj, now na Burna. You go explain tire.”
