I never saw that tweet but Eedris claims inthe past, Donjazzy tweeted
“If you are a rapper, your father will never be proud of you.’..He is
still angry over that statement and when Punch asked him he said
Donjazzy was lucky he didn’t mention his name because he would have
flogged him..lol
” First of all, why didn’t he stay in London for the
British government to give him a record deal? Shebi all of dem stayed in
London, while some of them, like Banky W, went to America? But they all
rushed back to Nigeria because it is here they could make such money.
Of course, in America, they will not get paid $10, 000 for a show. Even
some of the Americans like 50 Cent, the highest they will get for a show
in their country is $50, 000.
But they get paid $500, 000 here. If you could make such money here,
you don’t have the right to stand up and say as a rapper, your parent
will never be proud of you. Fortunately, it was money from rap music
money that I used to build my houses. It was through rap music that I
could venture into other businesses and do my agricultural project. It
was rap money that I used to sponsor other guys on their trips to
Europe.
When Don Jazzy posted that Twitter message, he specifically said:
‘For example, Mode 9’. He did that because he knew Mode 9 will not do
anything to him. Why didn’t he mention Eedris? I would have sent people
to bring him and get him flogged very well.
But I would have used that to teach him a lesson. Some people may
call it controversy, but I will say controversy loves me. It is
important to address that issue. This guy has allowed everything to get
into his head quickly.
He was feeling like Meen, so na Nigeria we dey make all this money
now? The British government wouldn’t have given him that opportunity.
So, it is we that made rap and R&B possible to the extent that you
get paid nicely that you are now insulting. Apology or not, it was
important that I addressed that issue.”
Funny enough, I am happy that they called me a thug. At least, I
am an educated thug. People can say whatever they want. Some even say
Eedris is proud. I am proud because hip-hop is proud. But the problem is
that dem no know my secret. Dem no know how I dey take dey survive. I
never come to dem papa house come ask for money before. The money some
of these guys are making in the industry, I am the one that ignited the
revolution for them to make it. I am fine and happy that I am doing very
well. I am a musician, farmer and businessman. I know what I export to
Europe. Germany is my base. I speak German. I am a businessman.
I know where I am coming from. I am not an idiot. Let them call
me anything; I have friends in the industry, but I am very choosy. 2Face
Idibia is my very good friend, Dr. Fresh is my friend and Terry G is my
brother. If I am not friends with you, that mean say we no dey the same
level and I’m not going to force myself. Na Eba I wan chop, you say
make I chop amala. Na by force?
