This isn’t the first time, Eedris has attacked Burna Boy. In 2020, Eedris slammed Burna Boy as he praised Davido as the real Odogwu of his generation of singers.

This came after Burna Boy and Davido clashed online following an interview Davido did saying he and Wizkid are Nigeria’s greatest of all time.

Burna Boy felt sidelined from the equation which forced him to shade Davido, reminding him that he only succeeded musically because his billionaire father bought it all for him.

Eedris Abdulkareem had joined the frenzy by stripping Burna Boy off the Odogwu title and pasting it on Davido.
