Nigerian rapper M.I Abaga now known as The Guy has made a revelation about rap in Nigeria.
The multi-award-winning rapper revealed in a new video posted on his Instagram account that he can speak with so much authority regarding Hip Hop in the country because no one has struggled for rap in Nigeria like he has.
M.I in this new video stated that he struggled for years to get rap to what it is while also acknowledging the efforts of other rappers such as Vector, SDC, Illbliss, Ice Prince, Jesse Jagz, Naeto C, Ladipoe, YCEE amongst others.
“When I’m speaking, I do so with my contributions and the weight of my experience,” M.I. said in the twenty-one-minute video where he also narrated how rappers were given no chance, as they had to struggle to be successful despite the odds.
He also made it clear that rap is doing well in Nigeria and with talents like Odumodu Blvck, the future of the genre is in safe hands.
All of this is coming after Wizkid commented on the rap genre during an interview with 10 magazine UK.
A lot of Nigerian rappers like YCEE, Oladips, A-Q, Blaqbonez, M.I and more has since reacted to that statement, but Wizkid went further to describe Nigerian rappers as broke while stating that Sarkodie, Nasty C and Black Sheriff are the only rappers in Africa.
