Founder of David Ibiyeomie has stirred fresh national debate after claiming he spiritually prevented American rapper 50 Cent from performing in Port Harcourt.
In a resurfaced video, the cleric recounted that the rapper was scheduled to perform in Port Harcourt on the same day his church hosted a crusade. He stated that he prayed against the event, declaring that if the concert held, it would invalidate his divine calling.
According to his account, the rapper arrived in Lagos but encountered issues and returned to the United States, a development he attributed to spiritual intervention.
The claim has triggered mixed reactions, with critics questioning the narrative and pointing to documented logistical issues surrounding the cancelled visit, while supporters interpret it as evidence of spiritual authority.
Analysts argue the episode highlights a recurring pattern in Nigeria’s religious landscape, where faith-based explanations often intersect with real-world events, shaping public discourse beyond verifiable facts.
