Eedris Abdulkareem on Afrobeats, His Legacy, Surviving Kidney Failure + More | Inside Life

[@samsonomorogbe429]

Idris say the same story whereever he was called for, meaning he is saying the truth. I love him.

[@Oyinda4lfe]

Eedris was so underrated, no surprise he is not getting his flowers while he is still alive. It's so like Nigerians to not recognise people like Eedris until after they have died.

[@djprojectstanley7187]

If u love Idris abdulkareem let's see ❤

[@itootalk5824]

The truth is that Eedris might not be the major person who promoted Afro music, but he was the first indigenous rapper we started listening to. Infact he made us start listening to Naija hiphop rap no doubt

[@eugene_chuks]

That's not true...... we had a couple of rappers then before him and alongside, people like Dr fresh, modenine, jahbless, etc and they were doing pretty well that time.... if you're a lover of rap music from way back you will definitely know this history

[@AvaDaddy100]

Ha you don’t know what you are talking eedris was just copying America rap plus there was other rapers before him

[@PJWW_HEART_OF_GOLD]

I was already listening to a few Nigerian rappers before Idris came onto the scene. It's true that Idris had a strong voice when he started, but that doesn't make him the first Nigerian rapper. I'm in my mid-50s, while some of you listening to Idris's interviews may be under 40. Many paved the way in the music industry before Idris. If anyone should be speaking about the impact on the Nigerian music industry, it should be Baba Fela. Idris, stop attacking both the old and new Nigerian artists. Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu, also known as Burna Boy, has achieved incredible success by taking Nigerian Afrobeat to an international level. Stop attacking him and other younger artists who are excelling despite the hate. Instead of insulting our young Nigerian superstars, collaborate with them. Remember when you disrespected Charlie Boy? You failed to respect many of the pioneers in the music industry, like Daddy Shoki, Tony One Week, and Mr. T, yet you demand respect and recognition from the younger generation. I can't stand nonsense. Just stop.

[@abubakarabacha4670]

Eedris is greater than life. He is the legend!!

[@itguru2943]

I cried like a baby when he said the wife told the doctor right there and then. The two shall become one. That also shows he is a good man especially to the wife

[@segun_excellenci]

No matter what anyone says in contrary to what Idris has said, I won't just loving him. He gave the new generation of Artistes a platform to shine. Take it or leave it. 🦍

Take it or leave it, none of the new generation of Artistes today has done much for the nation more than Edris. Long live the king. We stand for the truth. 👊🐐🦍💯

[@talk2jak]

Eedris Bro, I know this day will come. You are changing the perception of all our young youths from the lies they've heard about Idris Abdulkareem before. But you need to know that this kind of movement is not something that you can just chicken out like some other Musicians do when you've kickstarted it. So be very very ready for what you have already started.

[@kikis_secret]

For years now Eedris's story on this issue has always been been consistent and from the story the guy from 50's crew narrated it shows that he wasn't lying. Now I've been called over sabi by people I'm trying to stand up for and I can relate. Once you're outspoken it can sometimes be perceived as being arrogant.

[@iamike_nna]

😂😂😂 He's not mentioning P Square again after it has been confirmed that P Square wasn't on the bill. How consistent is this his stories?

[@moneymanakuh5234]

For sure

[@dreamtv8]

May God help and be with you Eedris baba all lies will be exposed this 2024 God is involved you're great and a legend as long as Nigerian music is concerned Regardless of how any ungrateful new cat feels No matter how many people who speaks and stand for the truth the world kills God will keep raising new ones God's will can never be stopped

[@Vikingsademola]

[@iamelemc]

His story has never changed, he was always telling the truth

[@Annointed-r5n]

Indeed

[@Tweakkkkkk]

That's not a criteria to know someone is telling the truth. I'm not saying eedris is lying but having a consistent story doesn't always mean someone is telling the truth

[@Anthonywrites01]

Something way he memorise?😂😂😂

[@jkbzz]

I appreciate Eedris for standing up for himself as a real man should. A majority of us Africans, Nigerians particularly are sheep. We will never talk when we should talk. Our voices are always mellow when we should speak and vice versa when we shouldn't. Nobody is perfect. Eedris is not. I am not. But nobody how you cut it, The Remedies really set this whole Afrobeats thing going and i appreciate Eedris for his activism, he could have taken the easy route singing party songs and so forth. It is the conscious artistes that will continue to be remembered long after they are gone.

[@debugger247]

I came here to connect all the dots. And I just finished watching Young's Buck's account of what happened on that plane, Eddy Remedy and Tony Tetuila interviews with Daddy Freeze, and Eedris's account on that podcast. Aside that Eedris has his flaws (from The remedies saga to acting like a bully), him apologizing to 50cent on stage, was a good thing. He may not have 'fought for the industry' in every sense of the word, but he played a part in how the nigerian industry treated our local artistes around international artistes. Thats all!

[@CraigMartin-yf7jo]

Exactly, he played a vital role but not the chief co ordinator
