MI Abaga praises wife as ‘most supportive person’ behind his career
Celebrated Nigerian rapper Jude Abaga, widely known as MI Abaga, has paid glowing tribute to his wife, Eniola Mafe, for her consistent support in his personal, creative, and business journey.
In a recent appearance on the Outside The Box podcast, the rap icon revealed that Eniola played a pivotal role in the early days of his company, TASCK, even becoming the first to back the project financially when he was raising funds.
But her contributions, he stressed, go far beyond money. MI described her as an active part of his creative and professional life—attending his shows, traveling with him, joining him in the studio, and even sitting through business meetings.
Despite her thriving career, she still finds time to stand firmly by his side. MI said:
“My wife is the most supportive person. When I started trying to raise money for my company—TASCK—she was the first person that gave me a cheque. She also supports my music-making process.
She filmed many of my clips online. She is always supportive. A lot of things I even tell her that I don’t need her advice because maybe I’ve not thought deeply about a particular issue and she has already done a ten-page exposé. She is the most supportive person. It is such a gift to have her.
She comes for the shows, she travels with me, she is with me in the studio, she is with me on designs. Sometimes, she comes to listen to me at meetings. And she has her own work, but every free time she gets, she comes to me. She is the most supportive person.”
MI’s heartfelt words highlight the depth of their partnership, with many fans applauding the rapper for openly celebrating his wife’s role in his journey.
