I rejected N200m support for my song ‘Seyi Tell Your Papa’ – Eedris Abdulkareem
Veteran rapper, Eedris Abdulkareem, has claimed that he was offered bribe to keep attacking the current government, which he rejected.
Speaking in a video posted on social media, Abdulkareem alleged that a person, claiming to be a senator, offered him N200m as a form of support for his viral song, ‘Tell Your Papa’, and activism.
He said, “So I got a call from one criminal who claimed to be a honourable; he didn’t even allow me to hear his name. After claiming to be a honourable, at the end of the call when I asked him what his name was, he claimed to be a senator.
“He told me that he was in a meeting yesterday with Seyi (a son to President Bola Tinubu), and some government officials. He said, ‘They are going to call you and bribe you, don’t listen to them, we are going to be sponsoring you underground’. I then asked him, ‘who told you that I need anything’?”
It would be recalled that the controversial musician released a diss song directed at Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu, urging him to speak to his father about the worsening state of the country.
In the track titled “Tell Your Papa,” which was shared on X (formerly Twitter) Abdulkareem delivers a blunt message, painting a grim picture of the hardships facing everyday Nigerians.
The song comes in response to Seyi Tinubu’s recent comments in Adamawa State, where he described his father as “the greatest president in Nigeria’s history.”
