How I formed The Remedies – Eddy Remedy

Veteran singer and former member of The Remedies, Eddy Remedy also known as Eddy Montana has said contrary to his ex-bandmate, Eedris Abdulkareem’s claims, he was the sole founder of the now-defunct band.

Recall that Abdulkareem had in a recent podcast interview claimed that he and Eddy were the original members of The Remedies and only accepted Tony Tetuila into the group out of pity after meeting him at a show in Ilorin, Kwara State.

He said he invited Abdulkareem to join the group and he came along with Tetuila and he later discovered he collected some money from his parents with the promise of making their son a star.

The veteran singer said because of Abdulkareem’s greed, there were rumours back then that Tetuila’s parents were the ones sponsoring the group whereas he was the sole sponsor of the group.

“The rumours first started when we were on tour that Tony’s parents were sponsoring the group. No, they were not sponsoring the group. I had $5,000 that my parents sent to me from America in 1997. They sent me that money to come and meet them but I insisted that I was to stay back in Nigeria to pursue my music career after graduating from Yaba Tech.

“I used that money to sponsor the group throughout that period,” he added.

The Remedies were a pioneering Nigerian hiphop music group. It consisted of Eedris Abdulkareem, Tony Tetuila and Eddy Remedy.
