Nigerian singer Olajuwonlo Iledare, aka Jaywon, has lambasted his older colleague Eedris Abdulkareem after the latter chastised Burna Boy for being arrogant.
In a tweet on his X page, the 'This Year' crooner said Burna is only following the footsteps of the 'Jaga Jaga' crooner.
He noted that Eedris has played his part in the industry but he was not given his flowers because he is arrogant. In addition, he said what goes around comes around, and it is being reflected in Burna.
Legit.ng also reported that Burna has replied Eedris, and his words got several reactions online. Jaywon's tweet read:
"Eedris has contributed a lot to the Nigerian music industry. Was he applauded for that? no, and it was all because of his arrogant behaviour, and that's exactly what Burna too is doing. So, when I say, 'what goes around come around' is actually for both of them. Las las, everybody go collect. Na just time! Ire ooo."

“My fall is unheard of. You never hear them say I fell off. Not you waiting for his downfall… U go wait tire. Burna Boy is never going to turn out like Eedris because he is not Eedris. He’s gonna be in your faces and ears forever.

"Eedris and Burna getting a taste of 'what goes around comes around'! Seems like karma's got a VIP section reserved for divas in the music industry! Lesson learned: you can sing your heart out, but leave the diva antics at home!"
@k_remedy:
"Odogwu I respect u so much, but I no go support u talking less about Eedris.... Baba, na that Eedris arrogancy changed the way all these big brands take dey treat local artists. If him no para for 50 cent, Guinness for no allow Wyclef meet nor collaborate with Faze, 2face and Sound Sultan."

"Egbon, you re one of the most sensible artist in the industry. God bless u egbon. Love is the only religion."
@oshaomoakin:
"Why would you guys say Davido is Juwon’s Boss. I met Jaywon in his prime 2007. Davido was not even out then. Jaywon is one of the most responsible and talented artist Naija has produced. His submission about Burna and Eedris is accurate. Who doesn’t know they are arrogant."
