Popular Nigerian rapper, Eedris Abdulkareem revealed that greed was the major cause of the Remedies band breakup.
Speaking in an interview with Punch, the controversial rapper, who launched a streak of strong worded jibes at several other artistes over the years, also disclosed that he slept under the bridge for over four months before he eventually met the likes of Eddy Montana and Gbenga Awe.
He said: “When I came to Lagos, I slept under the bridge at CMS, Lagos Island, for six months. God later directed me to go to Raypower in the Alagbado area of the state. He told me that I would see Kenny Ogungbe or D1, and that one of them would help me. On getting there, I couldn’t just walk in since I didn’t know anyone there. Meanwhile, there was an uncompleted building in the area, and I started living there. From there, I monitored Kenny and D1’s cars. One day, the late Steve Kadiri called me and asked what I was doing there. I told him I wanted to meet Kenny and D1; that I had an idea I wanted to sell to them. Since they were having a concert at the Yaba College of Technology that day, he asked me to come along. He introduced me to Eddy Montana and asked Gbenga Awe to produce a beat for us“.
Speaking about the cause of the band breakup, Eedris said: “Yes, it was money. It couldn’t have been women because I wasn’t interested in women then. When money came, each person started feeling he could do things alone“.
