Eedris Abdulkareem and Isaac Fayose, brother to former Ekiti governor Ayodele Fayose, have traded sharp words on social media following the release of Eedris’s latest track, ‘Maintain’.
In the song, Eedris takes aim at an unnamed individual, accusing him of hypocrisy for supporting Seyi Tinubu and President Bola Tinubu.
Rapping in pidgin, Eedris says: “One Agbaya say I don join APC. Your new name na hypocrisy. You say I don f**k up, I don join them. Meanwhile you dey chill with Seyi, you dey do faaji. Singing on your mandate for Seyi papa. You even turn yourself to emergency pastor. You dey pray for Seyi Tinubu and Jagaban. You say the Tinubu family na your family… say you be Yoruba man and you fit campaign for Tinubu because say Peter Obi never visit you. Now wey Peter Obi don visit, wetin you go do?… You made your money when your senior brother dey inside government.”
In response, Isaac Fayose dismissed the rapper’s taunts and alleged that government officials had tried—and failed—to buy his loyalty with cash and luxury gifts.
“I can’t be bought. The government dey offer me one million dollars; they offered me a G-Wagon. I am unbuyable. You enter studio because of me? You are mumu. Na you be jagajaga. Eedris JagaJaga,” Isaac said in an Instagram video.
He continued with personal attacks, saying, “Poverty don finish, Eedris. Poverty and Eedris na the same o. I pity your wife wey donate her kidney to you because you are a wasted generation. You suppose don go to Baba God.”
These heated exchanges have further stirred public attention, fueling debates around loyalty, politics, and personal integrity in the Nigerian entertainment scene.
