Edris Abdulkareem, Eddy Montana ganged up, removed me from the Remedies unjustly – Tony Tetuila

Veteran singer, Anthony Olanrewaju Awotoye, aka Tony Tetuila, who was once a member of defunct musical group, The Remedies, has revealed that despite his mother being the group’s original sponsor, Eddy Brown, aka Eddy Montana, and Eedris Abdulkareem plotted against him and removed him from the group.

Recall that Eedris Abdulkareem recently claimed that The Remedies broke up because Eddy became greedy and told him they should no longer split the revenue from their music equally with Tony Tetuila.

He claimed to have visited Tony Tetuila following the meeting and instructed him to prepare for a solo career.

Responding to Edris’ claim, Tony Tetuila said Edris and Eddy ganged up against him, adding that he was heartbroken and shattered after he was kicked out of the group.

Tony Tetuila said John Odafe Asiemo, aka Daddy Showkey, and Ahmedu Augustine Obiabo, aka Blackface’s encouragement and support helped him to build a solo career.

“Eedris connived with Eddy and kicked me out of The Remedies despite the fact that it was my mum who brought the money that was used to sponsor the group in the beginning. I was so heartbroken and shattered. It was Daddy Showkey who encouraged me and told me that I could do it alone.

“Blackface was another person who helped me. He brought me close and taught me how I could write my own songs. Blackface is a very great guy. I’d never forget the role he played in my career.

“It’s the same Eedris that’s coming out to lie that he made sacrifices for the [Nigerian music] industry,” Tony Tetuila said.

Meanwhile, Eddy Remedy, a former member of The Remedies, claimed that the money Eedris Abdulkareem collected from Tony Tetuila’s mum wasn’t used to sponsor the group.

He claimed that he wasn’t aware of the agreement until the rumour broke out.

Eddy Remedy claimed he used the $5,000 his parents gave him after completing his tertiary education to fund the group.
