M.I Makes Bold Claim about Where Nigerian Music Money Comes from: “We Can Do Better”

Nigerian music icon M.I Abaga has raised concerns about the origin of funding in the country's creative sector, pointing out that a significant portion comes from internet fraudsters. He emphasized the need for genuine corporate and government support for the music industry, stating that relying on illegal sources like Yahoo Yahoo music is not sustainable.

M.I urged Nigeria's elite to play a more active role in nurturing creative talent and supporting struggling artists. The rapper's comments have sparked mixed reactions from netizens, with some agreeing with his stance.

This comes after M.I recently made headlines for publicly admitting his support for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2015 general election, citing frustration with the People Democratic Party's perceived corruption at the time.
