Legendary Nigerian musician Charly Boy has described how, in 2004, he got involved in the romantic relationship between Eedris Abdulkareem and American rapper 50 Cent.

In a recent interview with The Honest Bunch Podcast, Charly Boy claimed that while he was doing his hair, Abdulkareem called to report that 50 Cent’s bouncers were abusing him.

He claimed that he abandoned his work and organized men to ride 3,000 bikes to the Murtala Muhammed Airport, where Abdulkareem was waiting.

He claimed that after receiving a briefing from Abdulkareem, he went to speak with 50 Cent.

“Back then, all the motorcycle riders would follow me if I waved my hand as I passed the motorcycle park. Charly Boy recalled, “I stormed the airport with almost 3000 bikes.”

“I asked Eedris to explain what happened when I got to the airport. He told me that he was scheduled to perform with 50 Cent, so he went to sit in first class on the plane where the rapper was. His bouncers told him to leave because first class was not for Nigerian artists, but he refused, and they beat him up.

When his bouncer attempted to save him from them, they also beat him. 50 Cent knew what had transpired. I asked where 50 Cent was after Eedris described his ordeal, and they pointed to an SUV. I then confronted him by getting into the SUV.

“The tension surrounding the airport with the bike men moving around was already being noticed by 50 Cent’s security team.” That day, I was high too. “You are the one beating my people in their own country?” I asked 50 Cent. You arrived in Nigeria and are oppressing my people.

He claimed that after he confronted 50 Cent, he apologized.
