MI Abaga Shaped My Rap Career – Ice Prince
Nigerian hip-hop star Ice Prince has credited MI Abaga with playing a major role in shaping his music career, describing the veteran rapper as both a mentor and teacher.
In a recent chat with content creator Isbaeu on the show Curiosity Made Me Ask, Ice Prince reflected on his growth in the music industry, revealing that his lyrical prowess and rap discipline were largely influenced by MI.
“I can rap on any beat with any rapper, and I will still stand out,” he said confidently. “I’m not going to have a wack verse on a song. I’m not saying other rappers can’t rap, but it cannot be said that I’m wack.”
The Oleku hitmaker went on to praise MI, stating, “I was brought up by the best, shout out to MI Abaga. I rapped with him for years. He is my big brother, and he taught me well.”
Ice Prince and MI Abaga both rose to prominence under the Chocolate City label, becoming key figures in Nigeria’s rap scene and helping to push hip-hop into the mainstream.
