In the world of Nigerian music, the group The Remedies marked its era with iconic titles such as “Shakomo”. A recent interview with Eedris Abdulkareem on the Honest Bunch podcast has reignited tensions and revealed differences within the group.
Eedris Abdulkareem recounted the genesis of the group, explaining how he helped create it by collaborating with Eddy on the hit “Shakomo” recorded at Raypower Studios. The meeting with Tony Tetuila during the tour around “Shakomo” in Ilorin led to his integration into the group, offering a new musical dimension to Remedies.
However, Eedris Abdulkareem’s statements sparked strong reactions. Tony Tetuila quickly called Eedris a liar, while Eddy Remedy also expressed his doubts about his former sidekick’s comments. According to Eddy, it was he who founded the group and invited Eedris to participate in “Shakomo”, thus contradicting Eedris’ version of their collaboration.
These revelations raise questions about the true history of the Remedies and the contributions of each of its members. Fans find themselves torn between different versions, searching for the truth behind the group’s legend.
Beyond the dissensions, this controversy highlights the tensions and conflicts inherent in the music industry. It also shows that artistic collaborations are not always as harmonious as they seem, highlighting underlying rivalries and feuds.
This saga around Remedies reminds us that behind hits and successes there are sometimes tumultuous stories and deep disagreements. It bears witness to the complexity of human relationships and the sometimes troubled backstage of the world of music, where fame and disputes often go hand in hand.
