In a recent interview on the Honest Bunch Podcast, veteran broadcaster and music executive Kenny Ogungbe opened up about a remarkable act of kindness by Nigerian rapper Eedris Abdulkareem.
According to Ogungbe, Abdulkareem generously gave him ₦2 million to pay for his children’s school fees without being asked, showcasing the rapper’s compassionate and generous personality.
Ogungbe’s story highlighted the deep bond between him and Abdulkareem, whom he had stood by as best man at his wedding. He also expressed his admiration for Abdulkareem’s wife, describing her as an exceptional woman, and revealed that he had once counseled the rapper against polygamy, drawing from his own experiences growing up in a polygamous family.
The heartfelt story has generated widespread acclaim for Eedris Abdulkareem, with fans commending his selfless gesture and lasting friendship with Ogungbe. Additionally, the revelation has sparked comparisons with another Nigerian music icon, 2Baba, with Ogungbe noting that he did not receive similar kindness from the latter.
The touching account provides a rare insight into Abdulkareem’s personal life and character, demonstrating his kindness and dedication to his relationships.
