Pastor David Ibiyeomie of Salvation Ministries has revealed how he believes his prayers and a strong declaration of faith led to the cancellation of a 50 Cent concert in Port Harcourt in December 2004. The renowned cleric stated that the rapper's concert was scheduled for the same day as a crucial crusade organized by his church. Concerned that the concert might draw away attendees from the church event, particularly since many church members had already purchased tickets for 50 Cent's show, Ibiyeomie declared that the rapper would not perform. He reportedly said from the pulpit, "I said listen if 50 Cent comes tomorrow, I am not called by God.. 50 Cent will not come." Ibiyeomie tied his divine calling to the success of the crusade over the concert, indicating that if 50 Cent performed, it would question his mandate from God. The Nigerian preacher claims that his prayer and declaration were answered when 50 Cent encountered significant issues after arriving in Lagos, leading to the rapper's immediate return to the United States without performing in Port Harcourt. The rapper's tour was reportedly cut short following an altercation on a Lagos-bound flight with Nigerian rapper Eedris Abdulkareem over seating arrangements, which escalated into a brawl. This incident led 50 Cent and his entourage to abandon the Port Harcourt and Benin concerts, with the rapper returning to the U.S. Thousands of fans in Port Harcourt were left disappointed by the cancellation, while Salvation Ministries' crusade reportedly saw a successful turnout. Ibiyeomie views this turn of events as a confirmation of his prayer and divine intervention.
