M.I Abaga Wins First Headies ‘Lyricist On The Roll’ Award
Since his 2008 breakout, M.I Abaga has maintained a rare form of consistency that has kept him on the hip-hop chairman’s seat even till this day. The Chocolate City rapper has recorded several successes including multiple awards but the Headies ‘Lyricist on the Roll’ award remained elusive until yesterday. After a decade of making hip-hop records, M.I Abaga finally won the Headies ‘Lyricist on the Roll’ award at the 12th edition of the award ceremony, which held at the Convention Centre, Eko Hotel & Suites on Saturday, 5th of May, 2018. The Chocolate City man has missed out on the award on several occasions and he has expressed his frustration at losing out on the award in some of his songs.
