Eedris Abdulkareem is not a newbie in the Nigerian music industry.His songs speak for him. However not much is known about his private life.
The rapper has said that he prayed and fasted for four years before he met his wife.
The controversial artiste made this known in a recent chat with Punch.
According to him: “I was on my way to the video shoot of my song, ‘Life in Yankee’ when I saw a lady trying to fix the tyre on her car. I take everything that has to do with marriage very spiritual because God says that if you want a wife we should ask him. So, I had prayed for a very long time for God to give me a wife that would compliment me. Immediately I saw her, I parked and helped her fix the tyre. Immediately I saw her, I could feel that she was my wife.
“When I parked to help her, my mind told me she was going to be my wife. The first thing I looked out for was whether there was a ring on her finger. I needed to be sure that she was not married. I also noticed that there was a child in her car.
Amazingly, the rapper trailed her to her father’s house, met her parents and told her dad of his intention.
“I admitted to him that she did not invite me to the house but I came because I did not want my wife to run away. Eventually, she came to meet me but was furious because she did not invite me to her house.
“I apologized for the intrusion then explained to her that I wanted to marry her and did not care how long it would take because God told me that she was my wife.
“I was not afraid to open up to her in her father’s house because I prayed and fasted for four years before I met her. She was really furious but I tried my best to apologise. When her father heard all I had said, he asked if I was truly serious and my reply was affirmative”.
