In the clip circulating widely on social media, Ibiyeomie narrated that at the peak of the rapper’s fame, he learned that the global music star was scheduled to perform in the Rivers State capital on the same day his ministry had organised a crusade.
According to him, the development placed him in a difficult position, as many young believers were already excited about the anticipated concert.
The cleric said he addressed the situation head-on, making a bold statement before members of his congregation.
“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 recounted.
Ibiyeomie added that he went further by tying his declaration to his calling, insisting that the concert’s success on that day would question his divine mandate.
“I said if 50 Cent comes to perform, then God did not call me,” he said.
The preacher went on to narrate that the situation later took an unexpected turn.
He claimed that the rapper arrived in Lagos but could not continue his trip to Port Harcourt due to issues that disrupted the planned performance.
“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,” Ibiyeomie stated.

"Does 50 cent coming to Port Harcourt affect your anointing? The Validation of the existence of power of God or God callings on you as an entity is not determined or should not be determined by all this nonsense."
