Legendary Nigerian rapper, M.I., had a long-awaited chat with two-thirds of the hosts of the Loose Talk podcast. After months of talking about having M.I. on the podcast, the rapper finally honored the invitation but not before letting his mind be known a day before about a perceived negative article on the Pulse website.

In the article – which was formatted like an open letter – Loose Talk co-host and respected music journalist AOT2 was critical of M.I’s last album The Chairman and his overall career direction. With Loose Kaynon in support, M.I. made a spirited defense of the album and his entire resume. The result was a 2 hour-plus interview that got very intense at times.

    Watched it halfway. Had to stop… Was so sad. Na market. Everyone has a right to produce what they want. But when a person has contributed so much to the industry artistically and is as talented as MI and you attack him that way…many shades of wrong.

    I’ve watched many foreign entertainment discusses. How do you sit opposite an artiste (a top artiste) and say ‘Your lyrics were wack… everything wack…’ Wow!!! I cringed in shock! The disrespect…not just because it’s MI but it’s so rude…. Who Are You??!! Not an insulting question but….who are you in terms of relevance and authority to say that to an artiste?

    I’m not a musician. But after the bit I saw I sat in silence for a long time…. MI just showed me how to be a better person, irrespective of whatever field I’m in.

    Our country is tough….if a person has put in so much and succeeded at some level, especially for some years, and helped put our country on the map especially, flipping show.. them..some..respect. Pl….ease. We are so good at killing our own!!!

    I know you guys may be upset at most of the feedback and say ‘We’re just doing our jobs!’ We doing same too using your parameters… we scrutinizing you too using your methods. ‘You guys are wack!’

    Dear Nigerian Artiste,

    I know how much some of you struggle and do all you can to churn out stuff you think the people should listen to. It can be killing to constantly be on the receiving end of criticism, especially when it’s championed by a few who feel they have the power to determine who should ‘stay alive or die’. They use their ‘ignorant mob/followers’ to champion their rhetoric.

    Don’t die here…if ya people don’t value you, skip into a neighboring country. Ghana, Cameroon, Malaysia… I think it works. Ask Yemi Alade or Eazi. Rule their airwaves. Offer constant thanks in interviews to their country and their people. You’ll be amazed at the Nigerian response. Supremacy battles…smh.

    When someone thrives somewhere else the ‘perceived value’ increases. We then pay double to host ‘our own’.

    Don’t die here…sorry to say, there are too many killers than builders. That’s just the way our frustrated-but-slowly-evolving country works…sigh.

    Best wishes.
    Don’t stop making music.
