The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Chocolate City Music, Jude Abaga popularly known by his stage name, M.I or Mr. Chairman said the delay in release of a new hit song or album was due to the pressure from his office at the record label. The talented rapper who is yet to released a song after the launch of his album three years ago stated this in an interview with Saturday Beats.
According to him, “the truth about it is that the CEO work has been harder than I thought and it has taken a lot of time from me. Also, when you become a brand, you have brand commitments as well. My contract with Glo expired this year even though I have been working with them for seven years and I had been their ambassador for five years."
He added that "We had to go for interviews, tours, shoot commercials, then you come back and you do the same thing for Martel. Then, I have friends that would want you to feature in their concerts. So, as a brand, it became tougher. Once an artiste gets to the point where he becomes a brand, it becomes tougher for him. I have about five projects in my heart that I want to do because I am getting older and once I am done with that I would probably leave,” he said.
