’banj Finally Reacts to Eedris Abdulkareem’s Claims That He Has No Talent

Even as back in the days musician, Eedris Abdulkareem, tongue-lashed D ’ banj in a recent video , calling him “ stupid” to have left Don Jazzy , the Kokomaster has refused to retaliate but rather gave a subtle throwback by saying Eedris insulted people who are young enough to be his children.
The controversial singer had in the said video that surfaced online recently , took some of his younger colleagues to the cleaners while saying D’ banj “lacked talent and all he has is ‘ razzmatazz ’” .
Saturday Beats caught up with the Kokomaster during the one year anniversary of his initiative, CREAM , an acronym that stands for Creative , Reality, Entertainment , Arts and Music and he bared his mind on Eedris ’ outburst.
He told Saturday Beats that he felt Eedris could have handled the matter in a better way . The Kokomaster said, “At first , I did not see the video where Eedris spoke about me and initially , I thought it was something else till people sent me the video . I have seen different videos of him talking about different artistes that are young enough to be his kids. I would have thought that if he was such a role model , there were better ways he could pass his message across but I have nothing against him. I have nothing more to say about him. I feel people just have different ways of expressing themselves . ”
He also used the opportunity to talk about his son and what being a father means to him. “ Being a father is very humbling . I have always acted as a father to a lot of young artistes from the days of Mo Hits but now, I have a child of my own. When he was born, I was in the hospital and as I held his hands , it made me realise that to whom much is given , much is expected. This is someone’ s life that I am responsible for. It is not just about fatherhood but now I have a family. Before I became a family man , I took decisions without looking back . I could decide to sleep on the Mainland ; I could decide to chill with my friends . But now , I have responsibilities . I have people that I am responsible for and we are growing together. The good thing is that I have a great partner and I love it. Each time I look into the eyes of my son, I know that it is real; I have to keep working harder , ” he said .
Apparently impressed about the success of his CREAM initiative within a year and how it has changed lives , the singer said, “ The CREAM platform was valued by KPMG and that is why we put out their findings . Nine months into the launch of the platform , we employed them and they helped with documentation . We have not done any other auditing since then and I was surprised about their findings because this is a platform that we just launched . It is an idea that God gave us and I worked on it with my wonderful team and for it to be valued at over a hundred million is humbling . I am sure that as I speak with you , the value of the initiative has increased because we have more investors and we are thinking on expanding to other countries . I am sure that in the next few years , we would have advanced . However, that is not the point of the CREAM initiative . It was established to serve as a platform that can encourage talents in Nigeria and I am glad it is achieving its purpose . ”
