The founder of Salvation Ministries, David Ibiyeomie, has shared a past incident involving American rapper 50 Cent and a planned event in Port Harcourt.
In a video that has gone viral on X (formerly Twitter), he recalled that during 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.
“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.
The cleric further explained that he made a firm declaration, stating that if the concert eventually took place, it would suggest he was not divinely called.
He went on to say that events later took an unexpected turn, as the rapper reportedly faced challenges that prevented him from arriving in Port Harcourt as planned.
“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 account has since generated widespread reactions online, with users expressing differing views on the incident, particularly around themes of faith, coincidence, and divine intervention.
One user wrote, “This one deep 😳,” while another added, “Some people go still believe this fully. Nigeria and miracles.”
