I have been asking myself why Tecno chose M.I to be one of the judges at their on going Karaoke contest #TECNOOwnTheStage. I am not saying he is not good enough but i just felt they should have gone for someone older and probably more experienced.

My curiosity led me to read up about M.I and i learnt about his rise to fame. He didn't just get one big favour from a promoter and rose to stardom, he actually fought his way through.

Jude Abaga (a.k.a M.I), born to Pastor and Mrs Abaga, had always been interested in music from childhood. He delved into poetry while in school and often played at hip hop shows and concert. His determination led him to team up with his guys; Jesse Jagz, Ice Prince, Ruby, Threadstone, Lindsay, Moses (Elbulk), E Kelly, to form a record label and they often performed at an open bar, every Sunday, after which he joined Chocolate city, where his career moved to lime light.

My source refers to him as the 'Hip hop Messiah' as he has assisted stars like Wizkid, Vypa, Jesse Jagz, Ruby, Pype, Ice Prince and Brymo in their journey to stardom.

With all these, i now have an idea why he should be a judge at a show for upcoming stars. He understands their language. I guess he now has a good sense of a person with potentials. Kudos M.I.

This is my findings on him. I hope i didn't leave out any interesting gist about him.

Here is a video of M.I, motivating one the Nigerian contestants at #TECNOOwnTheStage.
