The legend of the music group The Remedies is at the heart of new revelations, shedding new and surprising light on their journey. Prominent member of the trio Eddie Montana recently spoke out to set the record straight about the events surrounding the group’s creation and breakup, countering Eedris Abdulkareem’s claims.
According to Montana, he is actually the mastermind behind the phenomenal success of their hit “Shakomo”, recorded while he was still a student at Yaba Tech. It was he who took the initiative to record the song which quickly conquered the universities of Lagos and the South West, even before the integration of Eedris Abdulkareem into the project. In addition, Montana claims to have been at the origin of the group’s meeting with producer Mr. Solomom, well before their collaboration with Raypower and Kennis Music.
The interview given by Eddie Montana is not lacking in juicy revelations, in particular on the financial tensions which prevented any return of the group to the front of the stage. Montana points to Eedris’ greed as the main obstacle to a possible reformation, revealing that a funding opportunity had been squandered by his former sidekick’s excessive demands.
Meanwhile, Montana expressed his disagreement with the recent altercation between Eedris Abdulkareem and Burna Boy, defending the Grammy Award-winning artist by emphasizing the importance of his contribution to the evolution of Afrobeats.
These unexpected revelations call into question many certainties about the history of the group The Remedies, highlighting the internal conflicts and differences of opinion that have marked their journey. A true musical saga that continues to captivate fans of Nigerian music.
