“My Wife Was the First to Support My Company Financially” – M.I

Nigerian hip-hop legend Jude Abaga, widely known as M.I Abaga, has opened up about the remarkable role his wife, Eniola Mafe, has played in his personal and professional journey.

The award-winning rapper revealed that his wife has been more than just a partner—she has been his strongest pillar of support both financially and emotionally. According to him, she was the very first person to contribute financially when he began raising funds for his company, TASCK, a platform that empowers young Africans and drives social impact.

M.I expressed deep admiration for her dedication, emphasizing that Eniola constantly shows up for him in ways many would not expect, especially considering her own demanding career.

Eniola Mafe’s Role Beyond Financial Support

Speaking during a recent episode of the Outside The Box Podcast, the veteran rapper narrated how Eniola consistently walks the extra mile for him.

• She follows him to the studio during music sessions.
• She attends his live performances and shows.
• She even sits with him during business meetings, despite her own career obligations.

M.I further noted that Eniola is actively involved in his creative process. From filming some of his online content to providing intellectual insights, she continues to push him to think critically about his career moves.

“My wife is the most supportive person. When I started raising money for TASCK, she was the first to write me a cheque,” M.I shared. “She also supports my music-making process. A lot of the clips I post online were filmed by her. She has her own demanding job, but she still makes time to travel with me, attend my shows, sit in the studio, and even listen in on business meetings.”

The rapper highlighted that her support sometimes comes in the form of detailed analysis and advice. He humorously added that at times, she provides in-depth feedback even before he has fully thought through certain matters.

A Gift of Partnership

For M.I, Eniola’s commitment is more than encouragement—it is a partnership that has become essential to his journey as an artist and entrepreneur. He described her presence in his life as “a true gift,” reiterating that she embodies unwavering love, dedication, and sacrifice.

Despite balancing her own professional career, Eniola ensures that her husband never feels alone in his pursuits. M.I concluded by affirming that she remains “the most supportive person” he could have ever asked for.
