Veteran singer, Tony Tetuila, who was once a member of The Remedies, asserts that despite his mother being the band’s original sponsor, Eddy Montana and Eedris Abdulkareem plotted against him.
Recall that Eedris Abdulkareem recently spoke about the formation of the group.
Abdulkareem stated in a podcast interview that The Remedies broke up because Eddy became greedy and told him they should no longer split the revenue from their music equally with Tetuila.
He claimed to have visited Tetuila following the meeting and instructed him to prepare for a solo career.
However, reacting via his social media page, Tony Tetuila said Abdulkareem and Eddy Remedy ganged up against him contrary to his claims.
He said he was “heartbroken and shattered” after he was kicked out of the band.
Tetuila said Daddy Showkey and Blackface’s encouragements and support helped him to build a solo career.
His words, “Eedris connived with Eddy and kicked me out of The Remedies despite the fact that it was my mum who brought the money that was used to sponsor the group in the beginning. I was so heartbroken and shattered. It was Daddy Showkey who encouraged me and told me that I could do it alone.
“Blackface was another person who helped me. He brought me close and taught me how I could write my own songs. Blackface is a very great guy. I’d never forget the role he played in my career.
“It’s same Eedris that’s coming out to lie that he made sacrifices for the [Nigerian music] industry.”
Meanwhile, Eddy Remedy, a former member of The Remedies, claimed that the money Eedris Abdulkareem collected from Tony Tetuila’s mum wasn’t used in sponsoring the group.
