Rapper Eedris Abdulkareem has shed more light on what happened during the Star Mega Jamz show which had 50 Cent as headline.
Report had it that Eedris Abdulkareem who was one of the Nigerian acts to perform at the series of events had a confrontation with 50 Cent.
Sharing on Instagram, Eedris Abdulkareem said that the he had issues with the organizers of the events because they breached an agreement they had.
He shared:
“I always try as much as I can to refrain from talking about this issues many a time when reporters and inquisitive fans post questions about it, but for clarity sake, based on Young Buck’s statements on the matter in a now viral radio interview in the US, I will just lay down a few facts.
In my contract with the organizers of the 4City concert tagged “Star Mega Jamz”, I requested for specific simple things which they agreed to vis; GIVE ME THE EXACT TREATMENT YOU ARE GOING TO GIVE TO 50CENT!
if you’re giving him and his crew 50 bottles of any exotic wine or spirits, that’s what I and my crew gets.
If you’re giving him first class, that’s what I get and same goes for every other thing including lodgings, logistics and the likes.All these were readily agreed to by the organizers without any qualms, only for them to turn around and started acting funny and playing smart without been clever!
They breached our mutual and contractual agreements and threw caution to the wind immediately the Americans showed up in their mad haste to idolize the Americans while debasing, abusing and toying with our own homegrown music talents who were on that tour.
Indeed, that was the old order, that was how they usually treat our indigenous artistes before Guinness Breweries brought the Haitian-American Superstar Wyclef Jean, a few months before the Mega Jamz. Everybody in the industry is aware of the undeniable fact that the Guinness show added a lot of value and color to our industry and brought some new vistas of hope and opportunities our way.
There’s no gainsaying the fact that I refused to be used and abused that way, and I simply and most humbly demanded for what I deserved by sitting in one of the first class seats on our way to Benin City.
This event as narrated by Young Buck took place a day after the TBS Lagos show, where 50’s explicit lyrics oozing sex and promoting violence caused a pandemonium, with people raping and wrecking havoc everywhere. The matter was even made worst when he threw crispy 200 naira notes to the crowd, which some mistook for dollars and a mad rush started…well, this is different story for a different day.”
