David Ibiyeomie, founder of Salvation Ministries, has shared a viral story about American rapper 50 Cent and a planned concert in Port Harcourt that never happened, sparking widespread online discussion. In a video posted on X (formerly Twitter), Ibiyeomie recounted how, during the peak of 50 Cent’s fame, the rapper was scheduled to perform in Port Harcourt on the same day his church was holding a crusade. He made a bold declaration: if 50 Cent arrived, he would cancel the event, saying it would prove he was not divinely called to lead the ministry.
The cleric explained that he had prayed and made a firm decision — if the concert went ahead, it would mean God had not truly called him to his spiritual role. He emphasized that this was not a matter of personal pride, but a test of divine purpose. “I said if 50 Cent comes to perform, then God did not call me,” he stated in the video, adding that the rapper’s journey took an unexpected turn.
According to Ibiyeomie, 50 Cent reached Lagos and was preparing to fly to Port Harcourt when unforeseen issues arose. The rapper ultimately turned back and returned to the United States, leaving fans disappointed. Those who had bought tickets for the concert were then redirected to attend the church’s crusade instead. The incident, as told by the pastor, became a moment of spiritual significance for him and his followers.
The video has since gone viral, drawing reactions from users across Nigeria and beyond. Many expressed awe, with some commenting on the power of faith and divine intervention. One user wrote, “This one deep 😳,” while another added, “Some people go still believe this fully. Nigeria and miracles.” The story has sparked conversations about miracles, coincidence, and the role of faith in everyday events.
Ibiyeomie’s account, though presented as a personal testimony, has resonated with many who see it as a testament to spiritual conviction. The incident occurred years ago, but its retelling in 2026 has reignited interest in his ministry and the broader narrative of faith-based miracles in Nigeria. As the story continues to circulate online, it underscores the enduring influence of religious narratives in Nigerian society. This moment may well serve as a reminder of how faith and public events can intersect in unexpected ways.
