50 Cent's 1st visit to Nigeria against Eedris Abdulkareem

If 50 Cent chooses to bring his tour to Nigeria it will not be his first time in the country.

When 50 Cent came last he clashed with Nigerian hip-hop, R n B and Afrobeat artist, songwriter, and singer Eedris Turayo Abdulkareem Ajenifuja, popularly known as Eedris Abdulkareem.

However, the altercation started when Eedris Abdulkareem argued with 50 Cent's entourage about the seating arrangement aboard the plane that was being used to transport the American rap legend to the concert sites.

In 2004, 50 Cent and his band went to Nigeria to headline Star Mega Jams, a four-city tour.

The event, which was scheduled to take place in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, and Benin, featured a number of Nigerian stars from that era, including Tony Tetula, Abass Akande Obesere, Daddy Showkey, and Eedris Abulkareem himself.
