Jaywon Slams Burna Boy for His Pride, Shares His Experience With Eedris Abdulkareem: "He's a Bully"

• Old-time Nigerian singer Jaywon joined his colleague Eedris Abdulkareem to take a swipe at Burna Boy
• The indigenous musician noted that Abdulkareem wasn't in the best position to criticise their junior colleague
• He also shared some of the past encounters he had with Eedris while they were still signed to Kennis Music

Ace Nigerian singer Oluwajuwonlo Iledare, popularly known as Jaywon, has joined his colleague Eedris Abdulkareem to criticise Burna Boy's boastful demeanour.

Recall that the Jaga Jaga hitmaker and the Atlantic Records star had a clash online after the former called out his junior colleague for saying that no one in the Nigerian music industry paved the way for him.

Jaywon, who initially reacted to the fallout on social media, made a guest appearance on Teju Babyface's podcast, where he reinstated the exact words Eedris used against Burna.

"It's madness for Burna Boy to say no one paved the way for him," Jaywon said.

He buttressed his words by recalling when Davido gifted the Grammy Award winner a customised 30BG (30 Billion Gang) chain. He compared it to the recent event when Burna gave Seyi Vibes a customised diamond necklace.

Jyawon went on to query how Burna Boy would feel if Seyi Vibez later came out to say no one paved the way for him.

Following that, he appreciated the I Told Them crooner for the milestones he has been achieving on the international scene.

Jaywon, backing up his point, mentioned that Burna's global recognition is also paving the way for other Afrobeats artists and that no one can deny him that respect.

Jaywon addresses controversies with Eedris

The indigenous artist opened up about his past encounters with Abdulkareem. Jaywon revealed that they both had issues while they were at Kennis Music and accused the rapper of bullying.

He further condemned Eedris' statement about Burna Boy and mentioned that he was not in the position to say such.

"A lot of people might know Eedris, but I know Eedris. I was on the same label with him. We were at Kennis Music together and we had a couple of issues.

"Eedris cannot call Burna Boy out. Different people can call Burna Boy out not Eedris. Because whatever Burna Boy is doing now, people like Eedris started it. Eedris is a bully."
