……fans Criticize Song as Substandard, Call for a Return to Old Hits

Veteran Nigerian rapper and activist, Eedris Abdulkareem, has come under heavy criticism following the release of his latest single titled Akabio/Natasha.

The song, which attempts to capture the political tensions between Senate President Godswill Akpabio and Kogi Central Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, has failed to resonate with many fans.

The Mr. Lecturer crooner shared a snippet of the controversial track on his official Facebook page, hoping to engage the public in the ongoing political narrative.

However, rather than spark the intended conversation, the release attracted a barrage of negative feedback.

A number of social media users expressed disappointment, with many questioning the quality and relevance of the song.

Some of the comments below:

Santi Henry Cena commented, “Why my Oga come dey sound like upcoming artiste?”

Flourish Daniel wrote, “This one no follow at all o… just stick to Seyi Your Papa … you can be remixing it for five years.”

James Lawrence added, “Eedris no get any music to sing for us again.

Similarly, Aseyi Edward stated, “Eedris you no try for this song I beg. Watin be this? Chai!”

While the artist is known for his politically conscious music and fearless commentary on national issues, Akabio/Natasha appears to have missed the mark for many, igniting a wave of nostalgia for his earlier, more impactful releases.

As of now, Eedris Abdulkareem is yet to respond to the backlash.
