Jude Abaga, better known as MI Abaga, got bashed by fellow celebrity, Burna Boy a day ago after it was perceived that he was taking sides with AKA over his comments on xenophobic attacks in South Africa.
MI had defended South African rapper, AKA, who had said some derogatory things about Nigerians in his country. That didn’t go down well with a lot of people hence his apology.
He took to his Twitter account on Wednesday, September 4, 2019, where he apologised.

He went on to tweet about how he has resolved not to turn to anger and also prayed that one day we will all find a voice who will speak for everyone without fear.
I have been insulted and threatened so much..
And though a part of me wanted to turn to anger.. I know that it was a test for me to lead with love..
We have to see past our hurt into our hearts.. and fight hatred with love

Last.. I pray that we will all have someone that will speak the truth on our behalf in spite of the repercussions. If I did so in error God will judge… But courage is being able to say no when everyone else says yes.. no matter the personal cost..
