Veteran singer and former member of The Remedies, Tony Tetuila, has refuted his ex-bandmate, Eedris Abdulkareem’s claims that they accepted him to join the band out of pity. In a recent podcast interview, Abdulkareem stated that he and Eldee were the original members of The Remedies, and Tetuila later joined the group after they met him at a show in Ilorin, Kwara State. He claimed Tetuila was “desperate to sing” and they let him in because they wanted to “sing more songs.”
In response to Abdulkareem’s claims, Tetuila shared a clip of himself watching the podcast interview via his TikTok page. He expressed his disappointment with his former bandmate, stating, “I am highly disappointed in this guy, he is a bloody liar, how could a grown man like this be telling lies? Na GOD go punish who dey lie.”
In the video clip shared on Twitter, Tetuila can be seen reacting to Abdulkareem’s claims, expressing his disbelief and disappointment in his former bandmate’s untrue statements.
This public refutation by Tetuila has sparked discussions and debates among fans and followers of The Remedies, as well as music enthusiasts in Nigeria. Many have taken to social media to express their opinions on the matter, with some showing support for Tetuila and questioning the motives behind Abdulkareem’s claims.
The history of The Remedies dates back to the late 1990s when the group emerged as one of the most popular musical acts in Nigeria. Comprising Eedris Abdulkareem, Tony Tetuila, and Eddy Remedy, the trio gained fame for their hit songs and energetic performances. However, the group disbanded after a few years, with each member pursuing solo careers in the music industry.
The recent controversy surrounding Abdulkareem’s claims has reignited interest in the history of The Remedies and shed light on the dynamics of the group during its active years. While Abdulkareem’s version of events presents Tetuila’s inclusion in the group as an act of charity, Tetuila’s response challenges this narrative, calling it a lie and expressing his disappointment in his former bandmate.
As the debate continues to unfold on social media and other platforms, fans and followers of The Remedies are divided in their opinions about the situation. Some have expressed their support for Tetuila, commending him for speaking out and defending his reputation. Others have questioned the timing and intentions behind Abdulkareem’s claims, suggesting that there may be more to the story than what has been presented.
Regardless of the differing perspectives, one thing is certain: the controversy has sparked new interest in the history of The Remedies and the individual experiences of its former members. As discussions and debates continue to unfold, it remains to be seen whether Abdulkareem will respond to Tetuila’s refutation or if the matter will be put to rest. In the meantime, fans and observers of the Nigerian music industry are eagerly awaiting further developments in this ongoing saga.
