AY AND EEDRIS ABDULKAREEM’S ELECTRIFYING STAGE ENCOUNTER: A LOOK BACK AT THE 2004 “STAR MEGA JAMS” CONCERT

Nigerian entertainers Ayo Makun, popularly known as AY, and rapper Eedris Abdulkareem, recently stole the show with their lively on-stage interaction during a comedy show. The duo’s encounter was a throwback to the 2004 “Star Mega Jams” concert, where Eedris Abdulkareem claimed to have confronted American rapper 50 Cent.

AY’s playful remark about a rapper in the audience sparked a memorable moment, with Eedris Abdulkareem storming the stage, grabbing the microphone, and transforming the moment into a musical performance. The DJ immediately played Eedris’ 2005 hit “Nigeria Jaga Jaga,” and the rapper took control of the moment, much to the crowd’s excitement.

This encounter came on the heels of Eedris Abdulkareem revealing the backstory of his confrontation with 50 Cent during an appearance on The Honest Bunch Podcast. He explained that the incident took place on the first day of a concert at Lagos’ Tafawa Balewa Square in 2004, during a Nigerian Breweries-hosted event.

Abdulkareem recalled how 50 Cent and his bodyguards aggressively evicted several Nigerian artists, including P-Square, from the backstage area. Standing firm, Eedris refused to be intimidated, and an altercation almost ensued, but a mediator stepped in to calm the situation.

The chaotic events of the concert included allegations of women being molested and many people tragically losing their lives in a stampede, all of which Eedris believes were suppressed by Nigerian Breweries.
