David Ibiyeomie, founder of Salvation Ministries, has recounted a past incident involving American rapper 50 Cent and a planned event in Port Harcourt.

In a video currently circulating on X, formerly known as Twitter, the cleric said that at the height of 50 Cent’s popularity, the rapper was scheduled to perform in Port Harcourt on the same day his church had organised a crusade.

According to Ibiyeomie, he publicly declared that if the concert eventually took place, then it would mean he was not truly called by God. He further claimed that unforeseen circumstances later prevented the rapper from making it to Port Harcourt for the event.

“When 50 Cent was at his peak, he was to come to Port Harcourt for a musical jam. And the same day, we were to hold a crusade. I said, if 50 Cent should come and you believers go there… if he comes, I will not come,” he said.

“I said if 50 Cent comes to perform, then God did not call me. But he got to Lagos to fly to Port Harcourt and had issues. He turned back to America. Those who bought tickets had to come for the program,” he added.

The testimony has since generated mixed reactions online, with social media users debating whether the incident was a matter of faith, coincidence, or divine intervention.

One user wrote, “This one deep ,” while another added, “Some people go still believe this fully. Nigeria and miracles.”
