As M.I claims in that open letter , Vector
confirms they did meet at the British Council, Words and Pictures, Ikoyi in 2007. However, they never had a rap battle.
He says people told him, “’This guy (M.I) could can rap with virtually anything’ and they go ‘okay, thrown words at him, show him stuff’ (Vector raps). They were like ‘Oh my God’ and I was just a barrack boy that was there – a different type of kid. I guess that was it, the first encounter. ”

On ‘ The Viper ,’ M.I confirms that he felt some energy from Vector after listening to ‘Kilode,’ Vector’s debut single from his debut album, State of Surprise in 2010. He rapped that he felt Vector had always hated him.
Vector rejects that claim, “To be very honest, I was just getting too many ‘you sound too much like Jay Z’ and I was like, ‘Guys, I’m just a very young boy rapping.' If I would project, I would sound on a high pitch, There’s no bass in my voice. Projecting is leaving your comfort zone of speaking and increasing your vocal ability.
“I will definitely get into head or slightly no voice. And I was like ‘Kilode?’ Like General Pype is my friend and he sounds like Sean Paul. Durella sounds like D’Banj, P Square;
that’s Usher and Usher Ray. Na so e be, but these guys were not listening to me. I was saying some stuff.
“It was just me using my music as usual as an avenue to let out what I felt and that was like… And they kept asking my like, ‘Yo, can you battle M.I?’ And I was like he’s a cool kid now, like he’s chill. Not in a condescending way… We all call ourselves cool kids on our records. So, that was what it was.
"If there was any animosity or frustration, it was more from the angle of, ‘You guys are denying me my respect and things I deserve’ simply because they think I sound like Jay? Come on .”

Oleku (Remix)

Vector says the first time he felt the energy from M.I was after he made a remix to Ice Prince ’s ‘ Oleku.’ He says, “ As a point, where it all started was the ‘Oleku’ remake that I did with H-Code. He played the beat and I was excited. I did my verse and from there, I was hearing a lot of things that were coming in that it look like I was sabotaging their work…”
“ I was like ‘No now, like come on, guys…’ It even leaked out of H-Code’s studio. At that point, it started to feel like they took a lot of offence and they took it personal. But I didn’t understand why.
On why he feels Chocolate City felt slighted, Vector says, “ I wouldn’t know. I’ve heard people say my version was fire. I guess it was the first rap song that had people going, ‘I’m A-list now, so I cannot be you. Oye mi tide po si you…’ I was just having fun. People have preferences, but I always gave shout-out to Ice Prince and all that. “I remember always telling people that, ‘Don’t say Ice Prince’s version’ is the original version.’ I remember saying that on Rhythm FM back in the day. Ice is the originator, I am the one with the version.
“From there, it was heated at a point and became news on radio and certain things were said about actions that they were going to take. So my CEO then had called me, and I was just telling them that I just did a version and that it wasn’t that serious…
"They called a Lawyer and talked about copyright infringement… I admitted that maybe I shouldn’t have because it really isn’t my own.
“ I had no rights over the music other than the lyric that I wrote. So, I understood, but my CEO called for peace action and all that. But in my head, I was like, ‘What is peace action here? I was just dropping bars on other beats.
“ I would say this clearly. I didn’t see anything like an attack from them, but on the discussion table, you could tell that there was displeasure from their side of the fence. At some point, it felt like the ‘Oleku’ version that we made was picking up a lot.”
Vector then goes on to say that there was no beef from his side, but that his CEO (of YSG Entertainment) told him that there was tension. He also says that he has never seen himself as a legend, but as an artist. He says that he feels like he’s just trying to be an artist.
“ When I see these other guys like CDQ, I forget I’m Vector. I forget that a lot of these cats would play my record before they blew. I don’t remind myself that I’m something that has achieved anything ,” he says.

King Kong

In 2017, M.I Abaga spoke on a radio show that he had never made any music with Vector. Vector came back with a message that felt like a clapback. He said he tried to get M.I on his 2015 single, ‘ King Kong.’ Vector also stated it clearly he was ready. M.I then ended it with an
open letter.
Vector says , “That was a lie, he knows why we didn’t work.’ If I open my email now, you will see it, gbam. The first attempt to work together was 2015. But before then, he had actually sent me a record (in 2012 or 2013) and the beat was fire and I had already prepared a verse. I then responded back with a mail that I was ready.
“Then, his email had Loopy Records in it. I never got a response, so I was like it’s fine. Then I let it go, we didn’t speak for a while. Then, in 2015 when we made ‘King Kong,’ I was like ‘for the culture, let’s do something massive,’ so I reached out via Instagram.
“Recently he sent me a message fooling around being a nuisance, but it was that DM he sent me that made me realize that there was a message before that where he sounded positive, but never got back again. As typical, I felt that he was a bigger rapper in Nigeria and left him alone. My Hip-Hop is not that.
“After a while, I sent him another record titled, ‘Clowns’ which was about fear. I remember the intro goes like (Vector raps). I was like yeah, the general idea was meant to be that dope conscious rap. I didn’t want it to be another socio-political rap song.
“I sent him the record, I think the last time I talked to him was January 21, that year… So when I saw that interview where he said, ‘And I’m like the guy that works with everybody o,’ I was shocked.
“This is where that thing started to make me feel uncomfortable because what is the benefit of that? You could have easily said that we were working on it or something more diplomatic. He didn’t have to say that. Well, I guess that out of everybody, I’m the one everybody mistakes me for the cocky and proud guy.”
“A lot of people know I’m likeable, but gullible people think I’m cocky. I’m a confident man, this is one thing Nigeria has lacked; confident people. I may be wrong, but I felt like he was attacking me… Like since people think I’m a difficult person, it only means you capitalize on that? How much of a devil does that make you?
“He didn’t need to say this. They don’t need to know, it’s not necessary - that additive of, ‘Na me wan work with everybody.’ He didn’t have to say that. It’s okay, but he didn’t have to say that.
"When he wrote me an open letter, I was like, ‘Jesus, open letters now? okay, talk to you later' (laughs). I know you, I know too much about you.

Martell vs. Hennessy

"You don’t now go do a cypher and now take a swipe at another brand that does another cypher. There is only one other – the bigger one, but yeah. We let that go too.
“I’ve never said this before, but I feel like that first cypher was the premise upon which other activations was supposed to happen with his brand, but because we ignored, it didn’t kick off. That can only explain why Martell let M.I go. For you to tweet that you want the job at Hennessy, it means your contract is done with the other guys. They’re both cognac brands.
“Then he does a second one… Abi he has forgotten who I am? So, this is me just disciplining him on some level like… That was why I went to his lounge to buy Hennessy because I don’t give a f*** I can be disrespectful, I can from the battlefield in life and in rap. What is wrong with you? If we are all excelling, you should keep your opinions to yourself. Let’s just all excel.
“But then if you want this, na sand for bar beach. E plenty. So let’s make this very clear, let’s do this (the diss tracks) once and for all. I stopped entering for Headies because I felt there was too much discussions around validation."
Vector also says that his awards are at home on the floor. He claims thoughts like this make people like him – with high IQ – feel out of place. He feels like he’s done with vain battles of greatness.

The Purge

M.I Abaga scooped Vector for ' The Purge ' and posted the song on his own page. Vector called it, "stupidity" and says that M.I risked a lawsuit. When asked why he didn't sue M.I, he says, " What makes you think I didn't? "
You might notice that M.I has taken ' The Purge' down from his YouTube page. When asked why he dropped, ' Tetracycling,' he laughed and says that he's just having fun.

Is it your cocaine? Is it your nose?

Ride on amiable VP. Go and keep making us proud.

I didn't remind them to make money so why should I remind them to marry.

Sebi He Don Wake Up Abi Him Too Dey Comma As One France Footballer Don Dey Comma Since 37yrs Ago

Comma

Kemi working hard for her balance with COZA.

Kaduna-based blogger doing his work.

Following his well-received single, "Reason with me" in which he sang about the need for ladies to appreciate the effort and real worth of their hustling men and therefore be a little patient with them, Rudeboy returns with a new banger titled "Audio Money" in which he is seeking to discourage fake life on social media.

Produced by Lord Sky, the song has robust afro beats and deep lyrics with memorable punchlines that reflect the current realities on social media.

On this song, Rudeboy did not just shake the table. He broke it and walked away unperturbed the Rudeboy way.

Check out the lyrics of Audio Money:

Oh no, na audio
Oh no (Rude )
Oh no, na audio
Oh no

[Verse 1]
Everybody rich for Instagram (listen)
Poor man no dey for Instagram (at all)

E ma pariwo oh

[Chorus]
Slow down slow down
Why you wan kill yourself
Why you wan pa yourself
Living fake life vida loca
Calm down calm down
Why you wan kill yourself
Why you wan pa yourself

E ma pariwo oh

E ma pariwo
Dem money na just audio ( Na audio)
E ma pariwo oh

[Verse 2]
You wey dey form giveaway
Your landlord dey chase u away

Owu dey blow you, You dey blow timeline
Ten billion on flossy
Too much moni con be nothing
So turn down d volume of your radio

Your body Dey shack elele
Them dey there hail u
Owu dey dey slap you

[Chorus]
Slow down slow down
Why you wan kill yourself

[Verse 3]
Who get ear make dem hear

[Chorus]
Slow down slow down

Living fake life vida loca
Calm down calm down
Why you wan kill yourself

Living fake life vida loca

The End

It is not usually in Atiku Abubakar's character not to react to issues like this.

Take a bow, Tekno. More to come still.

What makes Daddy Freeze an authority on this issue?

If it is true that rain stopped the #revolutionnow protest in Abuja then the organizers are not serious. Rather than stop the revolution, rain suppose to fuel the fire of the protest to burn well well.

MAY THE SOUL OF ARCHBISHOP BENSON IDAHOSA REST IN PEACE. AMEN

He has fought a good fight and has joined the triumphant saints. Please allow him his deserved rest.

flexyrule:
Make money and avoid all these epistles. With money, even her ancestors would accept you!

Fallacious statement. The question is how many young men are millionaires at the point they are dating girls for marriage. Only a handful.

What were the MODS thinking? No preview before pushing to frontpage?

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
You lack self worth.

You lack grey matter for maligning me instead of stating your own opinion and your reasons. Meanwhile I boldly stand by my opinion that every society has heroes who should serve as inspiration to create more heroes.

Jaqenhghar:
Look what you are saying.How will a selfie or the presence of that man improve him as an individual.

No learning is a waste. Sitting side by side with the reverred Prof Soyinka presented an opportunity for positive interaction about his views of life and why he shares such views. There is no way the young would not have learnt one thing new.

dante0147:
I am sure if you have once in your life Booked for a flight ticket and pay an extra fee for a window sit then you would know how it feels to cheated! Because he is a Nobel laureate winner we should not hear word again abi everybody should be has foolish as your self? Mehn the day you learn all this people don’t give a hoot about you then that day I am sure your daftness would reduce!

When you turn an age-old footpath into a thoroughfare, everybody asserts right of way and prance through.

Kingosytex:
So Wole Soyinka should take what rightfully belongs to someone else simply because he is a Nigerian hero?

It's high time we called a spade "a spade" . The young man was damn right.

We are losing it fast. The young man has the right to his seat but as an African man he was not "damn right" as you said. We are Africans first.

dante0147:
Your brain is so wrinkled like a 120 Year old
GrandMa’s Pussy that means it’s out of date ! Because if they are working you ought to know that Wole Soyinka might be your Nigerian Hero but not mine ! What help did he render to the country ? Tell me.. By writing a book that if you calm down with your demented brain you would write something better ... run along boy!

Now, you sound bitterly daft. Your case is worsening instead of getting better.

deflover:
Will the damn selfie change his life
The so called adult disrespected the office of the president
He lead many to change and now next level
A foolish adult for that matter

Becareful what you say. Old age is still golden. Gold is cherished by those who know its worth.

dante0147:
Do you think everybody is as dumb as you are ? Davido ? Sey him na God wey person go de worship ? Or Who Wole Soyinka and him selfie picture help ?? E b like say two of una never baff well...

You sounded so daft and lacking in decency. Every country has its heroes and heroines. Wole Soyinka is a Nigerian Hero.

Whatever Tonye Cole did does not change the fact that the young man, who I am sure would worship' Davido if he met him, should have accorded our own Prof Wole Soyinka the deserved respect.Yes, it was his right to demand for his seat but relishing Wole Soyinka's intellectual presence and getting a selfie should have been his priority. Now, he missed all that because of his unnecessary stubbornness.

I am sure his Dad would take a long hard look at him at home and tell him," Son you messed up big time."

This will surely unsettle her wimp of ex-husband and he will once again get emotional on instagram.

Did Abiola die for Nigeria or for his ambition?

Imagine Senator Omo Agege presiding at Senate plenary and some people break in to carry the mace. Imagine...

Go behind you to sleep with your man. Na your front they wan go sleep with am before. Noisemaker!

Isn't it a bit risky to have Zlatan as mentor?

This is a deep stab in Ambode's back by someone he trusted. He should have resigned than stay till the end. He was an enemy within and Ambode didn't know.
