Nigerian rapper M.I Abaga recently responded to Meek Mill’s expressed desire to collaborate with African artists for an album.

Meek Mill took to social media to seek suggestions, asking his followers, particularly those from Nigeria and Ghana, for recommendations.

If I made an album with an African artist who should it be??? Question to Nigeria Ghan? I rap well I could do in 2 weeks with a good producer??? Leave a comment who???

In reply, M.I Abaga acknowledged the recognition with appreciation but subtly asserted his established identity. He pointed out that while he welcomes the interest from American rappers, he also hinted at potential challenges with certain suggested artists, confidently stating, “Levels de.”

No disrespect meant…

I appreciate the fact that Now every American rapper wants to collaborate with us.. 🙂However go listen to my catalog.. I have always known who I am and some of these people you guys are suggesting to work with me don't want these problems.

Levels de 🛖

M.I Abaga’s response reflects not only the growing appeal of African artistes on the global stage but also his confidence and experience in the industry.
