Burna Boy replied to a fan who called him out in a viral video
Nigerian musician Burna Boy has strongly criticized his fellow artist, Eedris Abdulkareem, for comments made about him on an unreleased podcast. According to a viral clip of the teaser for The Honest Bunch Podcast’s upcoming episode, Abdulkareem lashed out at Burna Boy for claiming that no Nigerian artist had helped him. This clip has been widely shared on various social media platforms since Saturday.
“You hear someone like Burna Boy say no one helped him in Nigeria. That’s stupid talk,” Abdulkareem said in the viral clip.
Reacting, Burna Boy, in a now-deleted post shared via his verified X handle, said he did not blame Abdulkareem for his comment but the people who donated money to settle his hospital bills when he underwent a kidney transplant in 2022.
The musician, known as the ‘African Giant’, expressed a desire to settle his differences with Abdulkareem physically, while he was in the Bahamas for a show.
In his tweet, he stated:
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 jam.
