MI Abaga, Blaqbonez, Tackle Wizkid's Comment on Rap Music

 

Veteran rapper MI Abaga has responded to Wizkid’s claim that rap was not only dull and tiresome, but also dead.

Biztellers had reported earlier that Wizkid made the assertion in a recent interview with 10 Magazine Australia.

He said; “If I’m being honest, I don’t listen to any other genre of music anymore.”

“I don’t listen to rap – that shit is boring to me,” he continues. “It’s dead now, it’s tired.”

However, Mr. Incredible in a tweet disagreed with Wizkid’s position on rap music as he listed famous Nigerian rappers who had achieved success in the field, remarking that the genre was “on the rise.”

The 41-year-old lord wrote; “Aq – winning. SDC – winning. Falz – winning. M – I de try. VEC – winning. Poe – winning. Odumodu- winning. Yp – winning.

“BlaqBonez – winning. Dan dizzy – winning. Ajebo hustlers – winning. Ice – winning. Etc etc etc… point is that rap is on the rise!”

Also, taking to his official Twitter handle, Blaqbonez who recently released his second studio album “Young Preacher” said he understands that rap is not the most sought after genre but rap is not dead.

He tweeted; “of the tons of projects this WHOLE year, Young Preacher was top 10 first week streams on Apple music, Boomplay, Spotify & audiomack, Rap isn’t dead, not the most sort after genre, but dead? NOOOOOOOO.”

He added; “I’m not dead, I’m handsome.”

It could be recalled in April 2021 that a tweet from Wizkid that admitted he was a fan of MI Abaga and asked for the rap star’s attention also unexpectedly reappeared online.

The tweet which was made on November 1, 2010 read: “@MI_Abaga hello sir..my name is wizkid..nd am an upcoming artiste….I’ve met u b4 bt not sure u remb me..am a bigggg fan sir!..”

When the tweet reappeared, social media users responded to it in a variety of ways.

Starboy received praise for his record-breaking growth, but other people believe he was joking when he posted the tweet.

However, some countered that things finally turned around because the most sought after now became the up-and-coming performer.

Diddy Caught On Tape Assaulting Cassie Ventura [Video]

Published

on

Surveillance footage has revealed Sean “Diddy” Combs allegedly engaging in a physical altercation with his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura in 2016 at the InterContinental Hotel Century City in Los Angeles.y

The video was obtained by CNN on Friday.

The video captures Ventura walking briskly down a hallway, carrying a purse and a small duffel bag, while Combs, wearing only socks and a towel around his waist, is seen running after her.

In the footage, the rapper, who is currently facing sexual abuse allegations from multiple women, is seen encountering Ventura at the elevator lobby.

He allegedly grabs her by the back of the neck, throws her to the ground, kicks her, takes her bags, and kicks her again before dragging her back toward the hallway.

Combs then retrieves Ventura’s bags and returns to the hotel room, while she uses a hotel phone by the elevators.

He later appears to shove her into a corner and throws an object at her off-camera.

According to Ventura’s lawyer, Douglas Wigdor, the newly revealed video reinforces the disturbing and predatory behavior exhibited by Mr. Combs.

He said “gut-wrenching video has only further confirmed the disturbing and predatory behavior of Mr. Combs. Words cannot express the courage and fortitude that Ms. Ventura has shown in coming forward to bring this to light.”

Ventura, who began her on-and-off relationship with Combs in the early 2000s when she was 19 and he was 37, settled her lawsuit against him just one day after filing it last November.

The suit alleged repeated physical and sexual abuse over more than a decade.

At the time, Combs “vehemently” denied the allegations, as stated by his attorney, Ben Brafman.

Following the settlement, Brafman emphasized that the undisclosed agreement did not constitute an admission of wrongdoing on Combs’ part.

Brafman did not immediately respond to HuffPost’s request for comment regarding the footage published by CNN.

Following Ventura’s public allegations, numerous other women have come forward with similar accusations against Combs, all of which he has denied.

In March, Homeland Security agents conducted raids on multiple properties associated with the rapper.

While the exact nature of the raids remains unclear, a senior federal law enforcement official informed CNN that the team responsible for the raids typically handles cases related to human trafficking crimes.
