Ace Afrobeats singer and songwriter, Damini Ogulu aka, Burna Boy has slammed colleague and veteran rapper, Eedris Abdulkareem, over his comment about him in a yet-to-be-released podcast.
Abdulkareem, in a now-viral clip of a teaser of the upcoming edition of ‘The Honest Bunch’ podcast which surfaced on X on Saturday, lambasted Burna Boy for claiming no Nigerian artiste helped him while coming up.
Speaking in the trending video, he said: “You hear someone like Burna Boy say no one helped him in Nigeria. That’s stupid talk.”

Reacting to his comment, 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 ‘Last Last’ crooner, who is currently in the Bahamas for a show, went on to aim a dig at Abdulkareem, saying he is not in his league.
He tweeted in Pidgin: “Abdul Kareem abi wettin 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, make we use mistake jam.”
After Burna Boy’s response found its way to social media, netizens took to the comment section of the post to air their views.
While some of those who commented backed him for hitting Abdulkareem hard, others felt his reference to the rapper’s life threatening health challenge was a step too far.
