Veteran artist Eedris Abdulkareem strongly criticizes D’banj while praising Don Jazzy for his technical production skills
On July 26, 2026, a video surfaced showing Eedris Abdulkareem bluntly criticizing D’banj for leaving Don Jazzy. The veteran rapper claimed D’banj lacks musical talent and only possesses stage presence. Abdulkareem praised Don Jazzy’s skills but condemned his past remarks against rapper Modenine.
The Nigerian music space witnessed another bold claim today. Eedris Abdulkareem shared his blunt thoughts on a famous industry split. He addressed the historic breakup between D’banj and Don Jazzy.
A newly surfaced video file shows the outspoken artist breaking down the situation. He held nothing back while discussing the two Mo’Hits founders and setting the record straight.
The Talent Dispute
Abdulkareem started the video by expressing his deep respect for Don Jazzy. He praised the prominent producer for having a strong drive and clear vision. The conversation quickly shifted to D’banj and his career choices.
”I love him. I love him. You know why I love him? You know why I love him? He has a drive,” Abdulkareem stated.
He then pointed out a massive flaw in music history. He called the famous Mo’Hits breakup a terrible career move.
”The biggest mistake someone like D’banj made was to be so stupid and leave Don Jazzy. You know why? D’banj no get talent o. Na razzmatazz he get. If you go America, they go tell you wetin razzmatazz be,” the rapper declared.
The veteran credited Don Jazzy for masking these obvious flaws. He explained that the producer provided the essential audio support. This specific technical backing made the singer sound great on every track.
”But Don Jazzy has the technical back-up to produce D’banj and make him sound very nice. And I love him for that,” he said.
Clashes and Praises
Despite the high praise, Abdulkareem did not ignore past mistakes. He recalled a specific moment when pride took over the producer.
”But when e don dey try to get to his head, saying, con dey tell Modenine, ‘If you are a rapper, your father will not be proud of you,'” the star shouted.
The rapper found this past comment highly offensive and disrespectful. He reminded fans that early hip-hop artists built the Nigerian music industry. These dedicated artists paved the clear path for others.
”Forgetting that it was the rappers that actually opened the ways that made it all happen. That’s where I had problem with Don Jazzy,” he noted.
Despite this old grudge, Abdulkareem sees the good in the label boss. He quickly balanced his harsh critique with much warmer words.
”Any other thing, he has done very well, he has encouraged the boys, he has added value to the lives of the boys, and I appreciate him for that. Because he’s a very very…” Abdulkareem added.
Fans now await a possible response from either D’banj or the producer. The veteran artist has certainly sparked a fresh debate online.
