Arguably Africa’s best rapper always reminds his fans how he hard to work hard to get to where he is now, in 2012 he dropped the lines – …I made it out with my hard work and sublime skills/I’ve been here a minute, heading for my prime still’ – M.I, ‘Star’ (Illegal Music 2, 2012)
In the recently ended Star Trek Nigeria Rocks concert, while performing on stage for the thousands of fans in Festac Lagos, M.I showed us his softer side telling his humble story from grass to grace.
‘How many of you have hustled the way I have‘, he asked the crowd and they remained silent…….. ‘I came to Lagos with ABC Night bus’.
‘3,500 naira, that was what I paid, look at me now! I thank God and you guys for making me who I am today‘.
M.I continued to repeat these lines both while performing and even as he finished and was about to leave the stage – ‘Don’t give up on your dreams. No matter what. Don’t ever give up on your dreams!
