EEDRIS ABDUL-KAREEM APOLOGIZES TO 50 CENT

Rapper, Eedris Abdul-Kareem shocked a live audience on Thursday, December, 20th at the Media Launch of the revived KORA Awards when he apologised to international rapper, 50 Cent for his infractions and the embarrassment he caused Nigeria when the latter came for the Star Mega Jam Concert in December, 2005.

In what looked like the return of a prodigal son, revitalized Eedris expressed remorse at the International Conference Centre, Abuja and venue of the launch during his performance. He stepped on stage as 50, who had just been handed a flower by a little girl was about leaving the stage. He openly apologised to 50 for his behaviour inside the plane that was to convey him and other artistes to the Abuja edition of Star Mega Jam '05.

Apparently shocked by the move, 50 Cent looked on, not understanding Eedris's gesture but nodded to veil his disbelief. "Forgive me…If not because of slave trade, we are brothers. I love you 50", Eedris said to him.

Rewinding back a bit, Eedris shocked everyone in 2005 when he stood up and challenged organisers of the Star Mega Jam Concert for reserving front row seats for 50 Cent and his G-Unit crew in the plane that was to fly them to Abuja. A day before the brouhaha, Eedris had taken swipes at 50 Cent during his performance for throwing dollar notes at Lagos fans whom he said were not hungry and did not need 50 Cent's money.

A fisticuff reportedly ensued between Eedris's and 50 Cent's bodyguards which caused the G-Unit gang to call off their performance in Nigeria's capital, Abuja for fear of being embarrassed or hurt. They requested to be immediately ferried back to the US.

The issue created divisions in the industry with a side of the divide knocking Eedris for his unruly action while the other praised him for his boldness at drawing attention to the maltreatment Nigerian artistes often faced in the hands of show organisers whenever their international counterparts are in the country.

Eedris would however suffer for his action as he was blacklisted by show promoters and organisers who saw his over-bloated ego as unbecoming. His action apparently became the slippery ground that slammed the rapper to the floor of his career. He still claims to be ahead of his game, after a long time of being away from the scene. He is been making some noise about his upcoming album titled "the king is back".

While fans and critics are yet to see and pick a copy of the album at music stores, the rapper is busy making up with his erstwhile enemies. It may interest you to know that his upcoming album has a track featuring Ruggedman.

Eedris success back then, overshadowed him and consequently, his career nose-dived and has since found it arduous to revamp.

It is very clear that his action towards 50 at this year's KORA media launch was an avenue to solicit for pity and of cause media attention like he's having it right now but as the saying goes "nothing goes for nothing" – his upcoming album really has to strike a remarkable feat to determine his fate in this day Naija music scene.
