Famous Nigerian rapper, M.I Abaga has revealed that he never wanted to be the most popular in the industry but only wanted to be able to feed and take care of his family.

The rap icon, who admitted to being a private person, said this on Wednesday, January 30, during an interview with PeoplesTV’s entertainment programme “e360”

His words: “As long as I can feed myself, take care of my family and be happy, I’m a very private person. I never wanted to be the most popular.”

“Getting older as an artiste, you need to start thinking about things that are more important.

“Though the pressure has been much on me, I’ve never been depressed.

“It’s okay to try and not get it right. It’s okay not to have the best car or watch. It okay if don’t fly private. Don’t put pressure on yourself. Happiness comes first; every other thing should be secondary.”

Bear in mind that after releasing the visuals for his highly anticipated song, “L.A.M.B Martell Cypher”,alongside Loose Kaynon, A-Q, and Blaqbonez, M.I had indicated his interest to try something else in the entertainment industry aside from music – which is to produce a movie in 2019.

However, when asked why he wanted to delve into film production, M.I said:

“I want to approach it from a production standpoint. I’ve long been a fan of movies but I don’t want to enter as an actor.”

“I want to find talented directors, writers and support them with my skill set. We have an exciting script and it’s going to be a movie that everyone would want to watch.”

Last week, he had claimed that Dreamville rapper, J. Cole made use of his style in his new song, ‘Middle Child’.
