In a recent dialogue on an episode of the Menism podcast, the ‘African Rapper No 1’ crooner admitted that while he initially backed the APC as a reaction to the perceived corruption in the then-ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP), the party has since failed to live up to expectations.

“Yes, I supported APC because at that time, I felt that the PDP government was very corrupt. I was part of the people who lifted my voice to say, ‘Let us stand and bring in democracy,” M.I explained.

“I tweeted about the thing that happened in Benue and a lot of people were saying, ‘But M.I, you supported the APC,’” he added.

The rapper acknowledged that supporting the APC was, in hindsight, a mistake, admitting that the party no longer represents the ideals he once believed in.
