In a recent interview with Daddy Freeze, music executive Soso Soberekon weighed in on the ongoing controversy surrounding Eedris Abdulkareem's claims of fighting for the Nigerian music industry. Soberekon acknowledged that while Abdulkareem's confrontation with 50 Cent's crew in 2004 had a positive impact on the industry, he believed that it was done in the wrong way.
During the interview, Soberekon expressed his belief that the altercation helped shed light on the discriminatory treatment Nigerian artists were facing at the time. He stated, "What happened between Eedris and 50 Cent helped the industry, but he did it in a wrong way. Before then, Nigerian musicians were treated like rats.
Soberekon's comments highlight the significance of that particular incident in bringing attention to the plight of Nigerian artists and paving the way for improvements in their welfare. Prior to the altercation, artists in Nigeria faced numerous challenges and were often marginalized in the music industry.
While Soberekon acknowledged the positive impact of the confrontation, he also emphasized the importance of addressing such issues in a more constructive manner. It serves as a reminder that fighting for change and advocating for better treatment can be achieved through peaceful means and dialogue.
