Enough has not been heard about veteran Nigerian rapper Eedris Abdulkareem and his decision to tackle his younger colleague Damini Ogulu, aka Burna Boy. The 'Last Last' crooner has also fired back at him.

The 'Jaga Jaga' singer had said that Burna revealing that no one helped him in the Nigerian music industry is stupid talk, in a chat with the Honest Brunch podcast. In a throwback video, Eedris was also seen asking the singer to calm down because he is not the African giant.

He added that other Afrobeats singers David Adeleke, aka Davido, and Ayo Balogun, aka Wizkid, joined the industry before him. Moreover, Davido is the odogwu himself, not Burna.

These statements provoked the 'Ye' crooner, who took to X to blast Eedris, who survived kidney disease in 2022. Eedris said in the video:

"You are not behaving like a Yoruba person. Please take it easy dude. Davido and Wizkid have been there before you. You never reach giant of Africa. You never reach odogwu, na Davido be the odogwu, and na only him I know. I don't know you. This is because he has added value to the lives of people and it is showing. He is not talking anybody's shine and he also has responsibilities. Una wey we help, una no dey do anything. Una go still dey talk anyhow."
