Controversial rapper Eedris Abdulkareem has called out the Mo’Hits pop singer D’banj and other Nigerian artistes who campaigned for President Goodluck Jonathan before the April Polls in 2011.
Today, Tuesday, January 10, 2012 the Kennis Music act made an appearance at the Gani Fawehinmi Park in support of the on-going strike against the Federal government’s removal of Fuel subsidy.
Eedris got on stage and said ‘…and all of una wey sing for Goodluck, F*** that bastard D’banj for collecting Money from Goodluck, God will punish you’.
The rapper also revisited his past issues with former president Olusegun Obasanjo.
‘The man wey say i dey craze because i sing Nigeria jaga jaga where him dey now inside this hardship. Na 2002 I sing Nigeria JagaJaga, na 2012 we dey so o’, Eedris lamented to the mammoth crowd.
The rapper who has six albums credited to his career had released ‘Jaga jaga’, a single which described the country’s down-state back in 2002. Obasanjo supposedly replied him derogatorily.
NET had a quick chat with the rapper just after he got performed his songs. Eedris disclosed that he was also approached to campaign for the current president but he said ‘no’. ‘They called me too but I turned them down, D’banj can’t be here because he knows he has disappointed the people’, Eedris said.
Others at second day of the protest include Olu Maintain, Pasuma, Zeez, Femi Kuti, Eldee, Seun Kuti, Salawa Abeni, Tosyn Bucknor,Tunde Bakare, Dele Osunmakinde, Bimbo Akintola, Desmond Elliot and several others.
In related news, the rapper recently released a sequel to his ‘Jaga jaga’ hit song titled ‘Jaga jaga Pt 2’; the message doesn’t stray away from the content in the original song.

Eedirs man u drop it right.
Chai i lyk dis eedris guy confidence.He dosnt give a fuck.
Na so my man baba God go punish all dbanj
Ur praying for God to punish D”banj all becos D”banj supported him during the elections?May God forgive you.
Is D’banj the problem? Instead of us to concentrate on how to bring down the cabals and bring back fuel price eedris is waiting for D’banj.. let’s be realistic and stop beef.
Edris u try by lettin obasanjo knw then. But dnt blame D’banj 4 singin 4 jonathan cos no one knew dis is what is goin to happen at the end. So pls reverse ur comment of calling him(d’banj) a bastard cos u are in the same game with him.
Eedris is a big fool…e be like say him no know him age.what has campaign got to do with fuel subsidy.he is just a jealous bastatd.Eedris you are a loser.did Dbanj know GEJ’s plans???think before you blastfarm….keep the fight on nigerians
l’m very very sure that this eedris l mean dis bastard dey smoke wee or rather is on heroin or cocaine,he thinks he’s still a small.big fool…is dbanj his mate,l would really like to know dis eedris age
Wrong. Eedris is not a fool, cos I’ve not heard any ofyou call Fela names for all the people he sang or talked about. D’banj should open his own mouth and say what he feels. They are the ones youth look onto.
Is it that some of u have cotton wool in ur ears or wot?D”banj spoke since the first day of the protest,even before this aggressive silly Eedris campaigned.His words are all over the internet.For those who are not satisfied by his words,its unfortunate.
Time 2 put heads together and solve d issues
edris some time u talk like a babe, what as D BANJ issue got to do wit fuel deregulation.
damn u edris 4 calling d banj a bastard.u dis big fool
ur music dose not moves nigerians,now u want to use d banj matter as a promo 4 ur musical carrier.u dis dom skull
d banj is d best musician out of naija.u cant stop him.
That’s not true
Mr or Mrs Ndu,evryone is entitled to his or her own opinion.If u don”t agree with his or her statement,ur better off ignoring it.That’s wot he or she feels,so free him or her….SIMPLE
Has got 2 that level?
If what I discooverd is true,I think the mohits got it bad this time.tried tweeting at dbang and don jaazzy today then aaa discovered the duo haas dissapered frrom twitter.I even searched for them again.funny lMAO
eedris is fool 4 callin dbanj names, go and meet Goodluck ur president leave koko master alone.
I WAS RIGHT INFRONT OF THE STAGE AND I NEVER HEARD HIM CALL D’BANJ A BASTARD O. THENET. HE SAID GOD PUNISH EVERYONE WHO CAMPAIGNED FOR JONATHAN. THE GUY YARN HIM MIND I NO BLAME AM, PLENTY OF UNA DEY FEAR.
Eedris if Ʊ Ʀ looking Fø̲̣̣я̅ cheap publicity let us knw. What has D’banj got †☺̅ do wit fuel subsidy? Ʊ don start Чυя baby talk shey? Remember ЪŦs Ђδω Ʊ went ãήϑ messed up wit 50…
why is it that out of all what he said; only the d’banj caption is what u guys use as the headline here.
Eedris Abdul Kareem is the flipping bastard here!God wld punish him for uttering that miserable comment towards D”banj!Shameless idiot of a person who has always had an unsuccessful singing career (Eedris)
Eedris u r d bastard. How dare u call dbanj bastard. Can u compare urself wit him? Olodo
Question is.. how was Dban’j supposed to know that Goodluck will make this kind of decision?
we all voted him into the position, we were not fooled by dban’j Campaign jingle.
Abeg all of u shld free DBanj. he is workin 4 his money. if Jonathan offers u 10 million 2 sing 4 him 2mrw, u will still do it so free DBanj!!!
Eedris! Eedris!! Eedris!!! How many times did I call u? Beefing Dbanj won’t promote u. Anybody would av done d same, including u if u had d opportunity. So pls! try and grow up and let’s face d situation on ground. We r still on d matter between u and JAYWON and now u r facing dbanj. Too bad.
Eedris,let Dbanj & GEJ be. U ar not perfect either.If u ar made president tomoro,u’ll be worse than GEJ. Pls find somewhere & anchor!
It S̶̲̥̅Ơ̴̴̴̴̴͡ º°˚˚°ºoo surprising that many of us here α̲̅я̅ε taking this personal, actually, eedris never called D̶̲̥̅̊ ‘banj ά̲̣ bastard. He only said, God W̥̊ i̶̲̥̅̊ LL purnish all D̶̲̥̅̊ people that campaign for jonathan. as for eedris, i don’t blame you М̣̣̥̇̊Ɣ man. You only speaking Ūя̲̅ mind.. Α̲̅Ω̴̩̩̩̥d̶̲̥̅ as for D̶̲̥̅̊ ‘banj, no Ơ̴͡Ɲε̲̣̣̣.. Ȋ̝̊̅§ born bastard. So far you knw you dad, you not ά̲̣ bastard.. w̶̲̥̅ξ shld all condemn who Ȋ̝̊̅§ τ̲̅ȍ be condemn Α̲̅Ω̴̩̩̩̥d̶̲̥̅ not ourselves pls.. Cos it won’t solve anything. Rather it W̥̊ i̶̲̥̅̊ LL cause enemity. Α̲̅Ω̴̩̩̩̥d̶̲̥̅ i fink D̶̲̥̅̊α†̥z D̶̲̥̅̊ least thing w̶̲̥̅ξ need today.. May God be with both of you (Eedris Α̲̅Ω̴̩̩̩̥d̶̲̥̅ D̶̲̥̅̊ ‘banj) Α̲̅Ω̴̩̩̩̥d̶̲̥̅ as for jonathan, i believe D̶̲̥̅̊ God of all gods W̥̊ i̶̲̥̅̊ LL deal with him soon..
Oh, he called out D’banj! Where did you put your eyes and ears at that time?
Eedris is telling nothing but the truth, D’banj and co are silly thieves.
Eedris D̶̲̥̅̊a̶̲̥̅τ̲̅ G̶̲̥̅Ơ̴̴̴̴͡.̮Ơ̴̴̴͡D̶̲̥̅ man nå God g̶̲̥̅ơ̴̴̴̴͡ punish all of U̶̲̥̅̊ nå way g̶̲̥̅ơ̴̴̴̴͡ against what U̶̲̥̅̊ said.
I can’t help bt think that some of all dese replies (esp d ones bearing names wiv ‘tees’) are from dbanj himself or his camp…….however, eedris is somewhat corrcet although he didn’t convey d message properly……it isn’t out of place 4 dapo oyenbanjo to make an official statement and take a stance on d issue too.
@nosa iyare,ur obviously stewpid!How can the names starting wiv “tees” be from d”banj”s camp?If u av a problem wiv d”banj,thats ur business.D”banj is one hell of a great and giving guy.Of all his colleagues,he”s the most involved in charity work.His koko foundation is currenly sponsoring over 80 students nationwide.Tell ur stewpid eedris to work on his dead musical career instead of insulting d”banj who is totally blessed.
Eedris u got it right. I lvu ur swags.
Eedris: i just like everyone voted ƒor Jonathan wholeheartedly without knowing this is how he is going to pay us back. So just reverse that statement as others have said and don’t speak emotionally again.
WE SHOULDNT BE FIGHTING OURSELVES BUT INTSEAD THE ENEMY WHICH IS GEJ. EDRIS ABEG FACE GEJ AND LEAVE DBANJ OUT OF THE MATTER,PLEASE!!!FACE THIS BADUCK GUY!!!I LIKE YOU SHA.YOU TALK AM AS HE BE WITHOUT FEAR
it’s sad that a kind of respectable website like thenetng will be broadcasting a story like this.are u suppose to be promoting hostility btw 9ja artist?.wat a misplaced priority.u guys better find sumtin good doing
Eedris is very right,dbang is a 419 guy,GOD go punish devil.
all what Eedris say about nigeria always come to pas,before he say nigeria scatter……. nobody belive him,he say tuface want to be like obasenjo no body also belive him, now again he is sayin that dbang is other you people are insulting him,the truth is this we nigerians need an iron hand,I AM NUMBER ONE FANS THE TUFACE DONT BE OFFENDED BUT I MUST SAY THE TRUTH.
Eidris shld betta grow up n stop with all d silliness n envy. Dats if he actually said dat. We’er all feeling d pain but one should me rational here n not try to be a two minute hero.
good luck don turn to badlucj cox he no favor us oooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!
Firstly, eedris is childish,jealous,and as usual ‘publicity-seeking’,so i wont spend time on him.
For all of you attacking Dbanj,i am not a fan-at all! Don jazzy makes more sense,cause he ‘what’ dbanj is about…but i must ask us to be sincere,what has dbanj done wrong by doing his job?he was paid to do a song,and he did-especially being very lucrative. If you were a teacher,should we critcize you for teaching GEJ’s kid? Pls we all voted for GEJ.make una free dbanj.na im work e dey do.
pls dont blame all artist that sing for jonathan during the campaign I think all Nigeria should be blamed expecially the nigeria worker they allow GEJ to fool them with N18,000 minimum wage.Now see the out come. I think we should know that nothing good can come out of PDP who has rule us for over 12 years without any meaniful result this is the result of our foolishness. leave DBanj alone. Dbanj has nothing do with subsidy removal
@tee u must b d stewpid one. wat is bad in wat d person said?ehnn?nd 4 d records am not Nosa.nd pls free Eedris jare.
@tola,ur deffo the most stewpid here.Are u Nosa”s mouth organ?And if i may ask,wot”s bad in wot i said initially??If u av a problem wiv D”banj,thats ur fat luck.That u agree wiv eedris or the “Nosa” doesn”t mean u shld av a problem wiv those speaking in favour of D”banj.Eedris started the insults and D”banj”s fans av evry reason to insult him in return if they damn well wish….simples!!!
it’s very obvious dat eedris said it out of anger cos everybody is vexing but wrong 2 ‘ve blasted d’banj.Nobody knew jonathan was going 2 b like dis.
@tee u don press control P? Na u sabi ooh.u shouldn’t ave insulted anybodi in d first place. nd am also a d’banj’s fan.but u guys should stop commentin wit sentiments.Period!!.
NB:back to u for d insults.
@tola,i was not commenting with sentiments.we all kno eedris is extremely aggressive unlike d”banj.D”banj is more on the soft side.I don”t see any sentiments frm dbanj”s fans.D”banj not protesting is least important “ere.He has feelings and deffo feels bad abt the issue like he stated on his twitter handle,but he prolly feels ashamed at the issue at hand “cos he openly and fully campaigned for Jonathan back then.I wld feel ashamed too if i were in his shoes.No one knew this was gonna happen and besides evryone jus like D”banj makes mistakes.Eedris had and still has abs no reason to insult d”banj openly and publicly.Eedris is always involved in arguments,fights etc.He needs to cool off and undoubtedly,that is the sole reason his musical career is more or less dead.U gain nothing thru aggression and dats one thing Eedris has to kno.
NB-Sorry for the insult but u insulted me first.
Ure all jobless people.
So,if we are all jobless,wot are u urself doing here???
@tee sori about dat too.but I fink Eedris deserves a second chance.aba abt 7yrs is enough.
@Naomi plus u to nau,abi?
The only person y’all should b insultin is this blog site and who ever wrote dis article. I was there and I heared Eedris as clear as anything. He said God will purnish those that collectd money to suPport GEJ. And if somebody did so,they should search their conscience. Nobody called D’banj a bastsrd.
This site should edit that stuff now now now oh.
HO HO HO,can u imagine a simpleton lyk eedris who waz last relivant 6/7 yrs ago dissin d’banj……………..well,i can imagine wot pain he is goin 2ruu comin back to nigeria and still tryin to make a hit(3RD ALBUM RUNNIN),it must b pretty hard on him……….well i smypathties wif u……bt pls dont take out your frustration out on pple…..go get a life since u r even a burden to ur record label(who signd u out of pity coz u only make noise.wakatiki rubbish),ur fellow member(lyk jaywon who u beatd up recently),even to ur fanz……..so pls go try sumfin oda dan music
AND ALSO ATTEND AN ANGER MANAGEMENT CLASS………U INSOLENT BASTARD.well well,i do hope u read dis coz i fink am sayin d minds of pple here
for d record d’banj has beta fin to do wif his tyme oda dan listen to your BULLCRAP…….he also didnt collect money 4rm ur presido
Eedris or woteva u cal ursef, u just a fool n pls learn 2 talk n watch wot u say. U av no flippin right 2 insult dbanj. Y dnt u insult ova 1million naijas who votd 4 gudluck. Of course nobody knew he wuld turn out 2 b a coward so u can’t blame dbanj or oda artists who campaigned 4 him. U shuld b dealt wit. Rubbish
Eedris has great confidence we all know and i admire it alot but dissing dbanj is not right in that manner, afterall most nigerians voted him in and thought he was the best choice, he only did his job while some did theirs for the party they felt was th better choice, that i turns out this way doesnt make him bad cos he didnt plan it… Eedris tome is only looking for a way to win the heart of the music fans back by grabbing this unnecessary opportunity. Backout Boy
1. Everyone commenting and saying shit should go back to junior secondary and get their vocabulary and spellings right.
2.You all should get your facts right, people who were at the protest and witnessed the speech by eedris said he did not mention names.
3. Ask yourselves one question, why have d’banj and don jazzy not made a public speech if they did not get bribed to mislead nigerian youths to vote GEJ, which I did not because the whole GEJ hype got me uncomfortable… Please be wise and tactical.
U must be confused plus ur the one who is saying shit!Y shld D”banj and Don J make a public speech?They”ve got better things to do plus who ever voted for Goodluck b”cos D”banj campaigned for him is obviously a fool.We voted for Goodluck b”cos we felt he was the best of all the candidates not b”cos D”banj said so and more importantly D”banj did not force anyone to vote for him so wot exactly is ur point?And by the way,Don J has spoken so has D”banj.U”re definitely uninformed!!!!Ur the one who shld get ur facts right,u uninformed and unwise individual.
However,Eedris is a flipping aggressive arse,not even his mother can dispute that.
@Anonymous,ur obviously a very big clown!U mean YOU shld go back to Junior Sec or better still,Primary….??Am having a laugh.U must really think ur the “informed” one!How amazing????Which youths did D”banj mislead?Do u have a problem with the fact that many many ppl here are speaking for D”banj as opposed to ur speaking against him?If they collected money frm Goodluck,so wot?Would u have refused money if ur President gave u?Pls abeg,ur better off not visiting this site if u don”t have anything to contribute.U claim ur informed yet u don”t know that bth D”banj and Don Jazzy have spoken.
eedris you’re a compound fool…
GREAT NIGERIAN!!!Eedris if at ur age u can still be beefing ur younger one there is no way foward for u in life.wat has dbanj got to do with dis if not bcos of ur stupidity and jealousy.o waa n se pe fun omolomo.if na u Goodlock give money u no go sing?.
it was even obvious eedris was high on dobe
Eedris is just a failed career. What has he to show for all he claims he has done. I pity him because his type does not last. Envy and Jealousy are the only reasons why he is hem pecking D’banj. But if the truth must be told personally i think because no musician was honour with the National Awards that is why some of them are grieved. Those people some people look up to are AUTHENTIC illiterates Edris be wise and use your head.
