MI opens up on 'dissing' Olamide - Says Dagrin Is Irreplaceable


"Look at my history, I have beef with someone, I mention their names. 'Akpata' wasn't targeted at anyone. A few people went to town saying it was targeted at Olamide but it wasn't. I'm saying that because a lot of people have implied that because I said a line about DaGrin, I was dissing Olamide.
If anyone got the wrong idea, I apologize.The line about DaGrin was more about DaGrin than it was about anyone else. DaGrin was a hero.He was a real success story for the streets.He was special, he had an energy that was like nothingelse. When he died, nothingelse mattered to entertainers ;he was that special.
