“Eedris gave me with N2M when I needed it most” – Kenny Ogungbe
Veteran broadcaster and music executive Kenny Ogungbe has opened up about a moment of remarkable generosity from Nigerian rapper Eedris Abdulkareem.
During an appearance on the Honest Bunch Podcast with Nedu Wazobia and other hosts, Ogungbe revealed how Abdulkareem once gave him ₦2 million to pay for his children’s school fees without being asked.
“Many years ago, I needed money to pay the school fees of my children. It was Eedris Abdulkareem who gave me ₦2 million. This was when $1 was ₦130. I didn’t even ask him; he just figured out that I needed something,” Ogungbe recounted.
Ogungbe emphasized the close bond he shared with the rapper, recalling his role as Abdulkareem’s best man at his wedding. He also praised the rapper’s wife, describing her as a remarkable woman, and revealed he had once advised Abdulkareem to avoid polygamy.
“I respect his wife till tomorrow. I advised Eedris not to marry more than one wife and not to have babies outside marriage because I came from a polygamous home,” Ogungbe added.
The account offered a rare glimpse into the rapper’s personal life and character, sparking comparisons to another Nigerian music legend, 2Baba.
The veteran broadcaster who recently exposed the truth about the ‘African Queen’ track stated he did not got the same form of generosity from 2Baba when asked.
The revelation has since drawn admiration from fans, many of whom praised Eedris Abdulkareem for his thoughtful gesture and enduring friendship.
