Paul Okoye, nicknamed Rudeboy of the P-Square, has denied charges made by Eedris Abdulkareem that the group was assaulted by American rapper 50 Cent and his entourage at a 2004 event at Lagos’ Tafawa Balewa Square.
In a recent podcast interview, Abdulkareem alleged that 50 Cent’s crew “flogged and chased” Nigerian musicians, including P-Square, from the backstage area of a show.
He stated that he was the only Nigerian musician that refused to be intimidated while backstage.
Rudeboy responded during a recent Instagram Live session: “P-Square did not go for the 50 Cent concert. We had another concert. We were never billed. The reason was because they offered us peanuts, and we refused. But Eedris Abdulkareem accepted the peanut and was expecting VIP treatment. 50 Cent crew didn’t beat you well.
“Respect yourself. P-Square was never billed for that concert. Daddy Showkey, Tony Tetuila, everyone is telling you guys that Eedris is a big liar. We know he is a lair. We were never billed for that concert. We didn’t go.”
