Carnivores: Eedris Abdulkareem vs 50 Cent

Author: The Culture Custodian September 15, 2025 Duration: 17:27

In 2004, Nigerian rapper Eedris Abdulkareem got into a highly publicized altercation with American rapper 50 Cent during the Star Mega Jam concert in Nigeria. The conflict reportedly began when Eedris attempted to sit in the first-class section of a plane reserved for 50 Cent and his crew. This led to a scuffle, and 50 Cent eventually pulled out of the concert, citing security concerns.
