Musician Paul Okoye, known as Rudeboy from Psquare, has inserted himself into the dispute between his fellow artists, Eedris Abdulkareem and Burna Boy.
Rudeboy pointed out that veteran artist Eedris appears to enjoy disrespecting his peers, noting that he has directed insults towards his duo, Psquare, 2Face, Timaya, D’banj, and now Burna Boy.
He mentioned that Eedris often claims to have fought for the Nigerian music industry, despite allegedly betraying his colleagues by secretly accepting a minimal fee for a 50 Cent show 20 years ago after they had initially agreed on more substantial performance payments.
Rudeboy stated that he has refrained from discussing the events surrounding the 50 Cent show two decades ago but felt compelled to speak out now due to Eedris’ perceived sense of unwarranted entitlement.
He wrote in Pidgin:
“Every eke market day we go de hear ‘I fought for the industry. Na me cook de food wey una dey chop.’ I go just de laugh.
“Now you wan reply with music you go reply taya !!! Over 20yrs i have kept silent about what really transpired, how we top Nigerian artists as of then agreed with one voice, about payment conditions and treatments on same 50cent show, only for this greedy guy to go behind and collected peanut.. you de expect vip treatment ontop peanut payment?
“You keep insulting any artiste at every opportunity, if is not Tuface, is Psquare, Timaya, D’banj, now na Burna… you go explain taya!”.
