Rapper, Jude 'MI' Abaga has expressed his disappointment over the points singer turned writer, Etcetera raised in his latest article published in PUNCH newspaper today.

Recall that the latter labelled celebrities frolicking with politicians and featuring in election campaigns political prostitutes. 

The 'Chairman' crooner vented his anger on micro-blogging site, twitter in a series of tweets. Read below.


Mr Incredible wrote, "Lol @ etcetera. I remember a time when etcetera and I were hustling the music business together. Doing what we had to to come up.

Hoping that one day we would be in a position for political candidates to seek out endorsment. I'm sorry you aren't here with us.

The primary thing an entertainer brings to any platform is eyeballs. Look at views with a star and views without. #yoursmarterthanthis

The only reason you write your articles is because that's your hustle #igetitigetit #hopesayyoudemakemoney #yoursmarterthanthis

If you had a large fan base.. Your lack of class and an ethical compass as a writer shows you would probably support Hitler 4 d right sum

You should be ashamed at yourself. That you would so classlesly criticize anything that puts money in your colleagues hands

You should be ashamed that in the last few years you have done more to pull our industry down then help it grow.‎

And here is my opinion.. Since you freely give yours out. Your album is quite possibly the worst album released by a Naija artist ever!"‎

They call him MI'er just because he's getting high'er and spitting fi're. If you've never seen an episode of "The Truth" with Olisa Adibua, this is one interview you don't want to miss. And it's with no other person than Mr. Jude "MI" Abaga aka Mr. Incredible. Arguably one of Africa's most prolific MCs with hit tracks and performances that helped redefine African music as we know it and pioneered a new dawn of Afro hip-hop extending its influence beyond just the shores of Nigeria to the entire world, we caught up with the "Chairman" himself to find out the truth about everything.

Just to mention a few, we wanted to know who MI Abaga is dating; his candid opinion about the issues between Jesse Jagz, Brymo and his label, Chocolate City; his thoughts around the rap game - who is the greatest rapper in Nigeria?; how it all began for him as an artist and the challenges of being not just an artist but also a music executive. In true fashion MI also drops some bars off his upcoming "Chairman" album - a little something for the fans.

Let us know what you think about MI Abaga by leaving a comment below

Someone tell me his account has been hacked or something. How can MI quit music? He's one of the best and talented rappers in Nigeria. Jude Abaga created his own space and blew our minds with his unique music. And just last year he was named Nigeria's most financially successful rapper. He posted that on his instagram page and right now I'm still hoping it is not true. What could have happened?

Warning! Like Manchester United's chances of winning the English Premier League this season, this shouldn't be taken serious. This brilliant photoshop features the likes of D'banj, Tiwa Savage, MI, Sarkodie, Harry Song, Mo Eazy, Ms J, Lynxxx. Kudos to the brain behind it. He goes by the name @howfarna_guy on twitter. The icing on the cake are the comments. They are fictitious too.

Successful yoruba actress, Funke Akindele-Oloyede and popular OAP Steve Onu, also known as Yaw are becoming some brands' choice comperes. And if anyone has noticed, they anchored many events last year and now this year they will hopefully anchor more, but beyond that, the talented pair have something up their sleeves.

Few weeks after Yaw had the premiere of his new TV sitcom called – 'Yaw's n' Myn', at the Silverbird Cinemas, the producer and actor has actor is out with another creative programme.

Titled 'The Bar', the 2-man play which also stars Funke Akindele-Oloyede will be staged at Muson Center, Onikan on 6th March, 2013. Billed to be present at the show are top music acts like Iyanya, MI as well as comedians.

According to Yaw, the play is not your conventional comedy show but, it's more of a 'satire. "I believe a satire should be like a rubber sword. It doesn't pierce like a real sword would; but the person it touches will definitely feel the impact.

The audience should expect twists and turns in the performances, suggestive innuendos and plenty of meanings in between the lines of the script. But they should also expect to laugh, because at the end of the day, it is comedy." He affirmed.

Chocolate City, an award-winning entertainment company owned by Audu Maikori and Paul has signed their first ever female artiste.
The label which harbours top artistes like M.I, Jesse Jagz, Iceprince, and Brymo has welcomed their latest member Princess Esindu a.k.a Pryse. The talented rapper who was born and raised in Port Harcourt, Rivers State studied media in a UK university; her influences are Jay Z, Drake, Lil Wayne, and M.I.

Energetic and talented Pryse welcomed the opportunity of being featured along-side, award winning Africa's rapper numero uno, M.I on his upcoming mixtape "Deux Illegaux de Musique – Illegal Music 2".
She became enlisted in the Chocolate City camp when label owners heard her part in the song "No-tis" (a cover of Jay Z and Kanye West's Otis).

 Reacting to the honour, she said,"I thank God I've come this far, and I'm just happy its finally happened, and I'm ready to put in the work, so let's go. I'm ready to be a BOI (Bold Original Innovative)."

I love the way femcees keep springing up! Yaaay!

Okies. This is different and I hope u find it hilarious. See how our stars looked when they were young. Let's analyze one by one:

1) Nollywood actress, Mercy Johnson-Okojie-Senior Mercy's(3rd from left) baggy trousers, poise, haircut point to the fact that she was an authentic senior, who would have thought that the well-endowed actress once looked like this (well, I refuse to judge her by her 'past'.lol)

2) Musician, Susan Harvey a.k.a Goldie- So, Sisto Goldie once suffered hair-drought. The few ones on her head shouting Halleluyah together with her shimmering forehead makes this picture look funny.

3)Musician Timaya-The self-acclaimed Egberi Papa 1 of Bayelsa's mouth and ears in this picture is something to 'text home about'.

4)Musician Panshak Zamani, known as Ice Prince obviously got the folder and school uniform from a senior in SS3 and if I may ask, ow many ladies fell in love with him after seeing him on shades?

5)On Air Personality, Tosin Bucknor looked like a strict health prefect in this picture. Sure some juniors avoided her wahala.lol

6)Nollywood actor-Segun Arinze-only his size has changed, he still an 'overSEEer'.

7)Presenter Denrele Edun-so Denrele has been like this since he was 2, I'm sure he personally requested for socks instead of clothes and I'm sure he graced birthday occassions like this.smh (Now I know better)

8)Ex Beauty Queen and rapper Munachi Abii- this was supposed to be a birthday party or something, I understand Munachi was dancing but was she thinking she could 'uproot' the dance floor by doing this. You are outstanding joor.

9)Rapper Jude Abaga a.k.a MI-looked so much like a 10/10 boy. He looked like somebody who doesn't look for other people's trouble and would sit on a spot for 5hours without uttering a word but now??sigh

10) Musician Bankole Wellington a.k.a Banky W must have nursed the idea of being a footballer, this one that he was dribbling nobody, that must be the fifth time he 'escaped' from his sitting position.

11) Comedia Teju Oyelakun a.k.a Teju Babyface- take a look at this picture well, something tells me Teju looked like a piece of puff-puff or a drowned Agege bread. I will follow my mind.

12)Musician- Prince shared some of MI's attributes, gentle or quite but maybe uncomfortable with the dreads.
