Eedris Says His New Song is Not an Attack But a Message to Seyi Tinubu
Nigerian rapper Eedris Abdulkareem has cleared the air on his new song Tell Your Papa, saying it wasn’t a personal attack on Seyi Tinubu.
Speaking on Channels TV’s Rubbin’ Minds, the veteran artist said the track was simply a response to Seyi’s public claim that his father, President Bola Tinubu, is Nigeria’s best-ever leader. That statement was made in March 2025 during a visit to Yola, Adamawa State.
Eedris explained that the song was meant to urge the president’s son to call on his father to fix the country’s issues, not to spark any personal drama.
“Nigerian youths are asking for the basics—electricity, security, jobs, and a working economy. Not handouts,” he said.
Meanwhile, he made it clear that if Seyi hadn’t made the remark, there wouldn’t have been a song at all. “I was inspired by his video. If he kept quiet, I would have too,” he added.
Shortly after the song dropped, the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) banned it from airwaves, calling it inappropriate—a move that has sparked backlash from many Nigerians.
Even Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka weighed in, slamming the ban as censorship and a threat to free speech.
Also, Eedris noted that over two decades after releasing Nigeria Jaga Jaga, the message sadly still rings true, as the country continues to battle the same problems it did years ago.
Nigerian singer Spyro speaks on his values, morals, and how he applies them to his work.
He shared that when shooting music videos, he does not tolerate certain things because they do not align with his beliefs.
“You can’t be in a video with me and you’re smoking. That can’t happen. You can’t be in a video with me and you’re naked. That won’t happen. I have rules and regulations for working with people.
“I can’t be on a song that is not clean, to start with. Shoday, give your life to Christ. I said, ‘Shoday, give your life to Christ.’ He said I should continue mine while he focuses on his. Even if he’s not with Christ, he’s coming to Christ. That’s why I’m in this industry. It’s a gradual process.”
Babcock University makes headlines as it speaks regarding content creator Carter Efe, who claimed that he studied at the school and graduated with a first-class degree.
When asked for proof, he shared a certificate that stated “First Class Upper.” However, the university has now spoken out, stating that the certificate is not from the school and is forged.
“Babcock University does not issue ‘Honorary Certificates’ in recognition of undergraduate academic performance. Academic excellence, including the award of First Class Honours, is formally recognized only through the University’s official degree certificate and academic transcript issued by the Office of the Registrar.”
“There is no academic classification or degree known to Babcock University as ‘First Class Upper.’ The recognized classification is First Class Honours.”
