On this episode of “Tea With Tay”, Taymesan is joined by Nigerian rapper and hip-hop icon, M.I. Abaga.
M.I. talks about his childhood days in Jos, growing up as the first son to an evangelist, and his very first time coming across what would become part and parcel of him: hip-hop, his days at an American college where he worked as a music producer, dancer, and coordinator of an acapella gospel group while doing odd maintenance jobs to make ends meet, poor grades, withdrawing from school due to the high cost of tuition, coming home to Nigeria, and working diligently at low-paying jobs before music came to his rescue.
The “Beef” singer opens up about being the first musician from Jos to win a Headies award in a rap category, his Chocolate City days as a rapper and an exec, and how he was able to uplift rappers and musicians in his circle, his legacy and creative agency, TASCK.
M.I. also narrates meeting Eniola Mafe, who’s now been his wife for a year.

<h2>The national president of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), Emeka Rollas, has disclosed that veteran actor, <a href="https://www.naijanews.com/topic/zack-orji/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Zack Orji</a>, underwent two successful brain surgeries and is in good health.</h2>
<p><strong>Naija News</strong> recalls that Zack Orji had slumped on December 31, 2023, and was immediately admitted to the intensive care unit of the National Hospital in Abuja, before he was transferred to a private hospital for surgery.</p>
<p>In a recent interview with Afia TV, Rollas expressed disappointment at those spreading fake news about the movie star's demise, stating that Zack Orji was never in a critical position after the surgery.</p>
<p>The AGN president added that Zack needs to be flown abroad for a post-surgery evaluation, and they are gradually sourcing funds for it.</p>
<p>He said, <em>"Because of the internet age, people just want to grow their page and they can spill nonsense, that was why somebody woke up yesterday morning and said Zack has passed on and I quickly reacted.</em></p>
<p><em>"Zack is never in a position of seriously needing attention as we speak, if not because of privacy I would have just connected him on the phone here, you will see him.</em></p>
<p><em>"He just needs a post-surgery evaluation abroad which we are gradually gathering money to send him abroad for that.</em></p>
<p><em>"He has survived two brain surgeries, he is in good health, and he is speaking. For somebody to wake up and say that Zack has passed on, is inhuman." </em></p>
