“MI is the greatest MC ever in Africa,” Jesse declared during the podcast, where he also discussed his early experiences as an artiste.

Jesse Jagz’s admiration for MI Abaga resonates with many hip-hop fans, who recognise the multi-award-winning rapper as a pivotal figure in the rise of Nigerian hip-hop.

While Jagz regards his older brother as Africa’s top rapper, he also asserts his own superiority as a rapper a sentiment that MI has previously echoed by referring to Jagz as Nigeria’s greatest lyricist.

In the interview, Jesse Jagz expressed gratitude for MI Abaga’s guidance, stating, “It was MI who taught me how to be Jesse Jagz… MI taught us, including Ice Prince and me, how to become MCs that will be respected forever.”
