‘Don’t Consider Yourself Successful Yet’, MI Tells Olamide

During one of the many exciting
sessions at the just concluded Nigerian
Entertainment Conference, Chocolate
City rapper, MI took some time off to
dole out advise to rapper, Olamide.
“What advise do you have for
someone like Olamide, who isn’t
signed to any label but has
continued to remain relevant in the
music scene?”, Osagie Alonge,
moderator of the session had asked
MI and in response, he said,
“If I met Olamide today, I would tell
him not to consider himself as
successful yet. Success takes a long
time. Recently, I discovered First
Bank has been in existence for over
120 years, that is success. Audu
Maikori is about to step down as
CEO of a label after 10 years and
the label will still continue, that is
success.”
‘I would also advise him’, he
continued ‘…to hire people who
have more knowledge than him and
build a structure around them’
The session, Not Dying Soon, had the
rapper deliver an emotional address
about why his Chocolate City label
will not go extinct. It was followed by
a panel session that had him, Seyi
Shay and MD of Megaletrics, Deji
Awokoya answer questions from
Alonge.
