Veteran rapper, Eedris Abdulkareem has called dancehall singer, Timaya an “ingrate’ in what appears to be a reigniting of his age-long rift with the singer.
TheNewsGuru recalls that the duo’s feud started in 2017 when Abdulkareem, in an interview, described the ‘Gra Gra’ crooner as an “ingrate”, saying he won’t have been successful if not for his support
Timaya however fired back at the time, saying Eedris used his services without paying him in return.
“I tried so hard to resist responding to an empty barrel..But I am sick and tired of all these misconceptions… Sometimes you just need to tell people the hard truth. F**k you Eedris Abdulkareem,” he had said.
“I was your backup artist and you did not appreciate me. You regarded me like a nobody, I paid my transport to your shows because I was learning. You have never paid me one day. You disregard people, how many people don blow through you”.
“Where are all the people that were with you before? You come on social media, where the f**k are you? Don’t blame people, Go and work. Dirty looking Igbo smoker.”
However, four years after their initial clash, Abdulkareem shared screenshots of some fans who also called out Timaya on his Instagram page. Eedris also accompanied the screenshotted comments with a brief note wherein he urged people to simply ignore the ‘Gratitude’ singer.
“An ingrate is an ingrate ignore him,” he wrote.
As at the time of filing this report, Timaya had not reacted to Eedris’ statement.
