I Will No Longer Reply Vector- MI
Nigerian rapper and record label producer, MI Abaga, has declined further comment about the ongoing fight with fellow rapper, Vector.
For sometime now, the two rappers have been engaging in a fight with the duo using tracks to pass across their messages.
In a chat with The Punch, MI disclosed that he will not speak further on the incident.
He noted: “I have said all I have to say on this matter on Instagram and I wouldn’t be making any statement again. I am busy with other things. For the next couple of days, I would be shooting music videos and travelling.”
Efforts to reach Vector was not successful but his publicist, Tunde Badmus, who spoke to The Punch said: “It is not a publicity stunt. We are not fake people. We only go for genuine things.”
“This issue started with the recording they (MI) did, in which they were throwing shades at us. But, we did not say anything. They then did another one, and that was like dragging our name in the mud, so we had to respond. Meanwhile, Vector is still working on replying MI. He asked for it, and he is going to get it.”
He continued, “I doubt if MI is going to apologise. This is hip hop and it has always been like that from the inception. If there is going to be an apology, it might be through a song; I don’t think it would be direct as such.”
Also speaking on the matter, a PR executive with Chocolate City, Aisosa Okundaye, noted that the inscription, ‘No Snakes’ on MI’s shirt to the BBNaija finale was a message and that neither the media nor the fans can put an end to the fight.
He said: “It is primarily what it is—a shirt. As for the message on it, if anybody believes the message is for them, they should catch their ‘sub ’. People walk around with shirts that have different inscriptions everyday.”
“I don’t think the fans, media, or anybody else can make that decision. It is clearly an MI and Vector conversation to have. We are always just going to be spectators from the outside.
On the ‘Viper ’ track, MI said Vector could go ahead to do whatever he wanted, but he has addressed the issue as best as he can.
“Whatever Vector says now is up to him, MI has left the conversation.”
