Chocolate City rapper and executive MI Abaga was the guest celebrity and headlining artiste for the event, and he treated fans to a cool session wherein he provided answers to some intimate questions revolving around him and his career as well as Chocolate City entertainment company in general.

The audience was also wowed with a splendid performance from an eight-year-old child star Jenyo Atoloye of Rosecroft Preparatory School who put up a superb, controlled sax performance.

When asked about his relationship status and the woman in his life he gave an interesting response.

The Chairman rapper said the character MI cannot have a relationship.

He said: “You see, MI cannot have a relationship for many reasons and people do not understand this.

“MI is a concept, an idea, and this is why he cannot be caught up in anything like a romantic affair. On Instagram MI is one thing, on Twitter MI is another concept, right here MI is an idea. This is how it goes and switches based on the situation.”

“So really if you want to know about my relationship status then you will need to direct that question to Jude Abaga personally.”

He managed to crack the audience up with his response on this as well as on other questions through the night.

In response to the issue of fellow Chocolate City rapper and label executive Ice Prince Zamani and the allegations of his girlfriend’s infidelity, MI said Ice Prince was a very smart man in the whole issue.

He added that Ice Prince had to respond in the most logical way possible given the issue in question which was a really good thing.

During the event, The Chairman also talked about his upcoming mixtape The Illegal Music III which could be his final mixtape.

It is expected to drop in late February. Also, he plans to drop another album soon.

When asked if that will be his last album he responded saying it cannot possibly be his last even though he would be relaxing on a lot of personal projects to focus more on running Chocolate City.

MI also hinted the fans and press men gathered on the night that he has a joint album with Cobhams and 2Baba already almost done, as well as a personal album which was completed years ago.

He sure has an arsenal of songs and with his plan to drop two a mixtape and album back to back this year, one can only wonder how many completed songs he has.

The LBBQs climaxed with upcoming singer Arewa, fresh from a recently concluded music reality show, performing MI’s One Naira while the rapper himself took charge of the piano and they both combined to really heartwarming effect. A remix of the songs with her won’t be bad.
