Prolific Nigerian rapper M.I. Abaga has said Nigerians don’t appreciate his music after listening to the newly releases fifth studio album of American rapper Kendric Lamar.
MI made this known in a tweet he posted on May 14, a day after Lamar released the sensational “Mr Morale & The Big Steppers.”

The album has been praised by many, including legendary American rapper Eminem, who told Dr Dre on Twitter that the album “is f****** ridiculous.”
It’s easy to spot why MI said Nigerian fans don’t appreciate him enough, seeing as he’s easily one of the best Nigerian musicians when it comes to bewitching lyricism and making conscious music, which is mostly what Kendrick Lamar gets praised for.

MI returned with another tweet though, teasing his next album is going to be great and that other Naija artists should leave this period for him.
MI’s last studio project was 2020’s joint EP with fellow Nigerian rapper AQ “The Live Report.”
His last solo album “Judah The E.P” was also released in 2020.
