MI clears the air about His Controversial “Diss’ Song
Sensational Nigerian Rapper, Jude Abaga, popularly known as MI, has responded to a question raised by fellow rapper, Phenom confronting him about his lines in his new single “Akpata” in which he undermined other rapper’s honesty and messages in their songs, while also praising late rapper, Dagrin who was famous for his point-blankness in his songs.
The controversial lyrics read:
“Omo I miss dagrin the streets they miss him too
Cause ever since he left we got nothing to listen to
These rappers missed his shoe
Nobody speaking truth
MI answered the Knighthouse rapper in a “Rap Battle” segment of “RELOADED” Magazine’s November issue saying, “Look at my history, I have beef with someone, I mention their names. ‘Akpata’ wasn’t targeted at anyone.
“A few people went to town saying it was targeted at Olamide but it wasn’t. I’m saying that because a lot of people have implied that because I said a line about DaGrin, I was dissing Olamide. If anyone got the wrong idea, I apologise.
“The line about DaGrin was more about DaGrin than it was about anyone else. DaGrin was a hero.He was a real success story for the streets. He was special, he had an energy that was like nothing else. When he died, nothing else mattered to entertainers ;he was that special.
“I think Olamide is super creative and so is Reminisce and i think to far they have done great with indigenous rap but DaGrin will stay in a special place”
It will be recalled that the “Chocolate City” rapper has had some discourse in the past with fellow artistes such as Kelly Hansome whom he called out on his song “Beef”.
