In 2005, after having shared stages with different
categories of musiciansEhen
Part one’ intended to put Eedris and several other artistes down,
picking on his rap style and lack of skill. Eedris apparently didn't take the
insult well, and he replied Ruggedman in an interview saying "Person
wey diss him elders no go grow".
including the famous American gangsta rapper 50 Cent,
Eedris Abdulkareem started referring to himself as the best in Africa. This
claim infuriated Ruggedman and led to the latter's release of the track ‘
However, to the surprise of many, Eedris Abdulkareem went on
to feature Ruggedman amidst the perceived beef between the two in a song titled
'Koleyewon'.
Ruggedman in the interview with Pulse TV said the birth of a
baby in Eedris Abdulkareem’s family squashed the beef between the pair.
He told the story of how he met Eedris and his family in an
awkward fashion at the airport in 2005 on his way to the KORA awards in South
Africa. Ruggedybaba said Eeedris’ wife was looking at him funny and he wondered
why, but then assumed it was due to his popularity.
“Imagine my finger
on the baby’s cheek, she moved, I now look, and I’m looking at Eedris and he’s
looking at me, it just dawned on me, ok wife, daughter, Eedris, and my finger
was still like this..then I went.’Hey’..he just went hey, how far na, I just
shook him, and that was it”.
Then Ruggedy baba asked if he was going to South Africa too,
and Abdulkareem mentioned that he was going the next day, but his wife and
daughter were heading there that day, and that was how the beef ended
basically.
The rapper said when he was performing at the show, he
shouted out at Eedris who was at the front row, cheering. singing, and
dancing along, and when Abdulkareem was performing, he was also in front
singing along, and almost went to the stage to join him, and it was cool how
it took that funny incidence at the airport for them to reconcile
