Abdulkareem said he stood his ground when 50 Cent's men attempted to chase him from the backstage area.

The rapper said that one of the event organisers had to step in to stop him and the Americans from getting into a fight.

Speaking further on the events of that night, the Jaga Jaga crooner alleged that women were molested at the concert venue and a lot of people died from the stampede caused by 50 Cent, but Nigerian Breweries covered it up in the media.

He said, in part:

"For the plane saga, it was the second day. A day before that time, we were at TBS at the backstage, and when 50 Cent and his crew came backstage, they chased and flogged every Nigerian out of the backstage area, including P-Square.
