    I met Eedris during my visit to Ota at Groove Bar in February and i was surprised how pleasant and respectful he was. Since that day, it changed my perception of him. He is a true legend.

    We love you Eedris. The one man mopol who revolutionized the Nigerian music industry. The incident with 50 cent was the turning point. Eedris was the catalyst for the change we’re seeing today!

      Bro wiz is a different people like Fela Kuti and wizkid don’t need debate or competition, they don’t want clout so leave wiz alone so allow Davido and Burna to drag for a name. Wizkid is a god in this generation without stress and noise making so let him be pleas

    • @nzeadidnazi8410
      @nzeadidnazi8410 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    We all have our short comings, but one thing Nigeria musicians(this generation) does that I'm not happy with is that, they fail to accept Edris Abdul kareem as their own legend.
    He Breaks the wall for them, he never bow for oppression, he stand for what he believes in.
    He is the true revolutionary of Nigeria (Africa Hipop).....
    Big up man...
