Tetuila slammed Eedris Abdulkareem's claim that as of 1998, their band got N20m to go on Rothman's Groove Tour.
The singer revealed that the amount the group got back then was N350k, not the 20m claimed by Eedris Abdulkareem.
"I was paid 16k" - Tony Tetuila reveals
During his interview with Daddy Freeze, the former Remedies singer revealed that he was paid just N16k from the first instalment paid by Rothman for their tour across 35 states.
Tony also shared that the group used his money to finance themselves in their early days. Tetuila's claim is the opposite of what Eddy Remedy shared when he spoke to Daddy Freeze.

Why Paul P-Square slammed Eedris Abdulkareem
Meanwhile, Legit.ng had earlier reported that Nigerian singer Paul Okoye of PSquare, aka Rude Boy, criticised Eedris Abdulkareem following his attack on his younger colleague Burna Boy.
According to Paul, Eedris is always talking down on his colleagues, including him and his twin brother Peter Okoye, aka Mr P.
He also cited an issue between American rapper 50 Cent and Eedris, which happened in 2004 and made him describe the 'Jaga Jaga' crooner as greedy.
