Both artistes had been at each other’s jugulars for some time, releasing ‘diss tracks’ to drive their respective messages home. However, when Saturday Beats contacted MI, he insisted that he would no longer speak on the issue. He stated, “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.” Calls and messages put through to Vector were not answered, but his publicist, Tunde Badmus, told one of our correspondents, “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.” On

CDQ  has lashed out at  MI Abaga  in the most ridiculing manner. It appears there is about to be another beef to come in the Nigerian Hip-Hop industry as CDQ looks to have taken a serious jibe at MI.

A group known as APC Mandate Defenders has reacted to online reports which claimed that the Hon. Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Hon. Mrs. Zainab Shamsuna Ahmed will be getting married to President Muhammadu Buhari. The group described the news as fake and fallacious. In a message sent to newsmen, the National Publicity Secretary of the group, Mr. Ifeanyi Emeka said there is no any marriage between Mr. President and any of his female ministers let alone the Honourable Minister of Finance who is happily married with responsible children. The group therefore warned Nigerians to stop scandalising female technocrats and politicians occupying public offices in the country as such accusation is not only unwarranted, but also capable of discouraging women from contributing their quotas to national development. The group also advised Nigerians to use the social media responsibly instead of using it to scandalize Nigerians who have distinguished themselves.
