A video of veteran singer Eedris Abdulkareem and his colleague Ruggedman, Michael Ugochukwu Stephens, has surfaced on social media.

The duo have had a long-standing beef that lasted for 20 years, which began after American rapper 50 Cent referred to Eedris Abdulkareem as the ‘best in Africa’ at the time.

While it appeared that they had moved on from things some time ago, it was not so, as the rappers recently met at a rave club, Voyage, in Lagos, where they finally buried the hatchet for good.

They went on to perform their joint, ‘Koleyewon’ at the club, spreading excitement across the faces of fans.

Watch the video here:

Recall that an action was taken against Eedris Abdulkareem’s diss track. The singer, who had a kidney transplant years ago, had released a song about the state of the country.

In the video, he sent the son of the president to his father about the suffering of the masses, and this sparked reactions.
