Eedris Gave Me ₦‎2 Million When I Needed It Most – Kenny Ogungbe by eyesoflagos(op): 8:34am On Jan 03, 2025
Veteran broadcaster and music executive Kenny Ogungbe has shared a touching story about Nigerian rapper Eedris Abdulkareem’s extraordinary act of kindness. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

Speaking on the Honest Bunch Podcast hosted by Nedu Wazobia and his team, Ogungbe recounted how Abdulkareem once gave him ₦2 million to cover his children’s school fees without being asked. “Many years ago, I needed money to pay my children’s school fees. It was Eedris Abdulkareem who stepped in with ₦2 million. This was when $1 was ₦130. I didn’t even ask him; he just figured out that I was in need,” Ogungbe revealed.

Ogungbe spoke fondly about the strong bond he shares with the rapper, highlighting his role as Abdulkareem’s best man at his wedding. He also praised the rapper’s wife, describing her as an exceptional woman. Additionally, Ogungbe disclosed that he once advised Abdulkareem against polygamy, drawing from his own personal experiences.

“I respect his wife to this day,” he said. “I advised Eedris not to marry more than one wife and to avoid having children outside of marriage because I came from a polygamous home.”

The broadcaster’s account shed light on Abdulkareem’s generous spirit and personal values, sparking comparisons with another Nigerian music icon, 2Baba. Ogungbe noted that, when approached, he did not receive similar financial assistance from 2Baba during a moment of need.

The revelation has drawn widespread admiration, with fans praising Eedris Abdulkareem for his selflessness and the enduring nature of his friendship with Ogungbe. The story also offered a rare glimpse into the rapper’s character, further cementing his reputation as a man of integrity and compassion.

Eedris guided Timaya.

Eedris faced 50 Cents to stop marginalisation of Nigerian artists in Nigeria.

Eedris is the next to Fella on the list of those who have been tortured by the government for speaking for the masses.

That second to the last paragraph isn't true. He didn't say he asked money from 2face. He just said after Eedris it is 2baba next wey be him Paddy and jokingly said "2baba hasn't given him any 2million"

Not that he asked money from 2face and he didn't give him. I watched the podcast from beginning to the end so don't think I don't know what I'm saying

Edris faced 50 cent how? he was being a nuisance. If a company hires you for a role, they'll pay you for what you are worth.
Does that mean you should physically attack the other staff because he's being paid higher for his worth?

50cent had no business with idris worth or how the organizers of the event decided to fly Idris...
You are even funnier saying Edris is next to Fela

Put in proper context, at the height of Eedris’s fame N2m was worth nearly $20,000! Not a small sum even today with our music having gained global appeal. If you doubt ask a B list artiste like Lil Kesh or Niniola for the Naira equivalent of $5,000 weda u go see am.

When I listened to the amount of work Kenny Ogungbe did for the Nigerian music industry, I just feel that Davido, WizKid and Burna Boy should place him on salary forever and he deserves to receive a national award.

Story that touch the heart. Mr Kenny no matter the white wash people with eyes can see. Eedris might be kind I don't know because he hasn't give me 1 naira. But eedris has attitudinal problem yes I know and I guess every body knows too. Because of small fame from jaga-jaga album eedris was ready to fight 50cent that has not offended him.

Don't mind that one.
If he was one of the stranded fans in Shell R.A that night in Port Harcourt he won't be talking trash after buying tickets only to hear the show got cancelled because Eedris was hostile to 50 cent after smoking igbo...
That was when his career went downhill
Even the Eedris apologized to 50 in Uyo years later
He no get fans for Port Harcourt again.

That's just the variance of life. People you least expected to help you in time of crises always happen to be the one to stand firmly with you and render unbelievable help to cover your unclothedness.....That's life....

The only constant thing in this life is change.
Kenny music was like dangote monopoly then, the likes of little fish, storm records only tried but queue behind kennis music.
New artist cannot just try to brag now that he's signed to kennis music grin that's if the label still exist.
