Recall that in 2004 the outspoken Nigerian singer Eedris Abdulkareem during the Star Mega Jam Concert had some very serious beef with the international celebrated rapper, 50 Cent, which led to 50 Cent not performing in remaining two shows. The issue which involved both the Nigerian Breweries, became a very trivial issue which led to the legendary singer losing many contracts and favors from legible persons and companies as the story that was told out to the public didn’t quite favor the singer. The singer who had demanded at that time, to be paid and treated equally as the international rapper, 50 Cent, took his anger on the company public as this led to the huge beef that was settle just few years ago, however, this issue remains ever green to many who had witnessed or read about the issue as at the time it happened.
