Fayose responded by labeling Eedris a “mumu and jagajaga” who joined the government’s enemies to milk the nation’s wealth.
The exchange has since generated clips and memes, with users sharing laughs alongside worries about the personal jabs in Nigeria’s heated political talk.
A screenshot trending on X, posted by user @dammiedammie35 with caption “Eedris Abdulkareem VS Isaac Fayose today 😭💔,” showed a newspaper headline reading “Eedris Abdulkareem has joined APC. Musician cites national unity and desire for greater…” alongside an image of Isaac Fayose smiling.
Eedris Abdulkareem, known for his protest songs against President Bola Tinubu’s administration including “Tell Your Papa” and “Jaga Jaga” which have long criticized governance, has long rejected big offers tied to his music, insisting his activism is not for sale.
Fayose, who styles himself as an APC opponent despite his family’s PDP roots, has been vocal on social media about political allegiances, often calling out figures he believes have compromised.
Known for his protest songs, Eedris has maintained that he has not joined APC, describing the allegation as false and hypocritical, while Fayose insists the singer’s actions suggest otherwise.
The clash continues to trend, with Nigerians divided — some praising Eedris for using music as a response, others calling for both parties to avoid personal insults and focus on issues affecting the nation.
