Diminutive rapper, Jude Abaga, aka MI, has been accused of abandoning an up- and-coming Abuja-based rapper, Young Incredible, after he promised the young chap a record deal with Chocolate City.
An Abuja-based entertainment promoter, Gaius TheConnector made this known when he uploaded a video of MI making the promise at a show in which the duo performed before a mammoth crowd.
In the said video, MI said, “I promise you two things. Number one: a one year development deal with Chocolate City. We would put you on TV and radio, and take you to shows. If you blow, we would sign you and the whole world would know you.”
Sunday Scoop reached out to Gaius to find out more about what transpired on the night MI made the promise. He said, “Videos don’t lie and the evidence is there for everyone to see. I think it’s better not to say anything than to promise and fulfill. There were over a thousand people at the venue where MI made that promise and most of them now would believe that MI has delivered on his promise, but that’s not true. Ever since that, MI has forgotten all about the boy and we’ve also been unable to reach him. Meanwhile, there may have been people at that event who wanted to help the poor boy but because of what MI promised, they stepped back, thinking that someone had helped him already.”
On his relationship with Young Incredible, Gaius said, “He is much younger than me and I am like a manager to him. I just like him because he is very talented and I don’t want his talent to go to waste. All we want is for MI to fulfill his promise because he has the capacity to do so. It has been over one year and I implore him to save this young man’s talent from going to ruins.”
Meanwhile, MI refused to answer repeated calls placed to his mobile phone by Sunday Scoop. He also ignored text messages sent to him.
