In 2004, Nigerian rapper Eedris Abdulkareem got into a highly publicized altercation with American rapper 50 Cent during the Star Mega Jam concert in Nigeria. The conflict reportedly began when Eedris attempted to sit in the first-class section of a plane reserved for 50 Cent and his crew. This led to a scuffle, and 50 Cent eventually pulled out of the concert, citing security concerns.

On this episode, we sit down with M.I Abaga, the legendary African Rapper No. 1, to explore the remarkable journey of one of the most influential figures in Nigerian hip-hop.

From his early days as a rapper who shifted the continent’s sound, to his transformative years leading Chocolate City and shaping the careers of stars like Ice Prince, Jesse Jagz, and CKay, M.I reflects on a career defined not only by timeless music but also by sacrifice. He opens up about guidance from his inner child and what it means to pursue purpose beyond fame, the challenge of ageing in hip-hop, the heartbreak of leaving Chocolate City, and how that moment of loss became a turning point for growth.

Two decades later, M.I’s voice remains a guide for what it means to build, to lead, and to last. Listen in as we unpack his legacy; and discover what it takes to leave your own.

This episode reflects on the 2016 clash between two of Afrobeats' most revered kingmakers at the Headies Awards. The conflict started after Mavin Records’ Reekado Banks won the highly coveted “Next Rated” award over YBNL’s Lil Kesh—a decision Olamide felt was unjust. During his acceptance speech for another award, Olamide expressed his frustration with an expletive-laced outburst on stage.

Don Jazzy responded minutes later during his own speech, telling Olamide to "come and collect the car" if the award meant that much to him—a reference to the SUV traditionally given to the Next Rated winner. The moment stunned viewers and quickly spilled onto Twitter, where both stars continued trading insults in now-deleted tweets.

The feud was short-lived, though.
