M.I Abaga Says He Wasn’t Dissing Olamide + Why Late Dagrin Is Irreplacable

The African rapper #1 has come out to open up on his tack talking about Dagrin and also that the lyrics weren’t in any way aimed at Olamide.

Read below:

“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 apologize. 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 so far they have done great with indigenous ‎rap but DaGrin will stay in a special place”

MI responded to a question by fellow Rapper Phenom in the “Rap Battle ” segment of RELOADED Magazine’s November issue.
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
