Rapper Eedris Abdulkareem doesn’t appear in the news often, but when he does, we all know what that means.

Eedris in a chat with Saturday Beats claimed his entertainment outfit did everything possible for artistes such as Timaya so they could eat.

He also had good words to say about the Bayelsa state born artiste

“Timaya served under me. My entertainment outfit, Lakreem, did everything possible for people like Timaya. He is my boy and he was brought to me from the streets. I remember him living in my house for four years and I showed him how to be successful. I remember asking him to go back to Bayelsa, read about its history and do a song about it for his people. He went and did that even though now he praises himself in most of his songs. He is my boy. He is a social crusader because he learnt from me. He learnt everything from me even though he never told the press that he worked for me as an artiste. He is my boy. There are more songs in Timaya that are so powerful; you have not heard the best of Timaya. If you graduate from Lakreem, you must be successful because of the training you get. Lakreem does not sign anybody, instead we support people’s career,” he said.

On Kcee and Presh, he said he took them to meet with Kennis Music boss Kenny Ogungbe and also he did purchasr their Star Quest form for them

“I took KCee and Presh to Baba Keke and he promoted them. I bought the Star Quest form for KC Presh back then. There are a lot of things that have happened that many people do not know. I intentionally did not want to blow my trumpet but I think it is time to clear out some issues,” he added
