Rapper, Eedris Abdulkareem has chastised his older colleague Charly Boy for selling him out’ for 70 million naira during a 2004 brawl with American rapper 50 Cent who was in Nigeria for a musical tour years ago.
While 50 Cents was in Nigeria, he had a plane fight with Abdulkareem and the American rapper’s team swooped on him as other Nigerian artists stood by and did nothing to rescue him.
When Charly Boy, the then-president of the Performing Musicians Association of Nigeria, was summoned to mediate, Eedris said that he (Charly Boy) took N70 million and closed the matter without doing anything.
Abdulkareem went on to call Charly Boy a “false activist” and a “poor leader.”
Eedris said, 50 cent people said they spoke with the organizers and they said they don’t know who I am.
“Before I could say anything all of them started attacking me and the Nigerian artistes on the plane were just looking at me.
“About thirty of them were on me. I fought for my rights, I fought for the music industry. I am the reason why all these guys are making money.
“Charly Boy, you sold out.You are a bad leader”
According to Abdulkareem, the incident was observed by DJ Tee, a music video director.
In support of Abdulkareem’s claim, DJ Tee said, “I think you should do a live video so people can hear the truth. I am a complete witness.
“KC Presh was 6 or 7 seats away from me on the plane that faithful day. The gist is plenty bro. Area father lied about everything. I am disappointed in him.”
Responding to Abdulkareem, Charly Boy said, “The people wey know the story go tell you say after I show 50 Cents people craze, I made them leave Nigeria that day, back to the states, forgetting the rest of their Nigerian tour.
“For beating my ungrateful son, Eedris Abdulkareem, I sent them back to the states. Nigerian Breweries head scatter. Dem come arrange package of IG of police.
“I was locked up in police cell for almost one month.
“Sometimes in life, the people that you fight for, fight you back out of ignorance.”
In his response, Abdulkareem slammed the veteran singer accusing him of selling out during the incident.
“Shut up. You collected N70M from Nigerian Breweries to blackmail me. You collected evidence of attack by 50 Cent and G-Unit from DJ Tee who recorded everything that happened in the plane,” he wrote.
