“They lied about subsidy, lied about fixing the economy, lied about strengthening the naira. Everything is worse now. If you listen to my song, you’ll know I’m just telling the truth.”
Nigerian hip-hop legend Eedris Abdulkareem has launched a scathing attack on President Bola Tinubu, calling him the country’s “worst president” despite being a good father to his son, Seyi. The criticism came during his appearance on Channels TV’s Rubbin’ Minds, where he discussed his controversial new song, Tell Your Papa, which condemns Tinubu’s administration and has faced backlash—including a ban.
Abdulkareem mocked Seyi Tinubu’s public defense of his father, saying, “He looked better when he was silent.” He added, “Tinubu may be the best father to Seyi Tinubu, but he is the worst president Nigeria has ever had.” The rapper’s remarks highlight growing frustration over Nigeria’s economic struggles under Tinubu’s leadership.
