The rapper who recently tied the knot with his wife stated that he plans to drop his 15-year-old stage name because his upcoming album deserves to be released under a new nomenclature.

He also revealed that he would be performing for the last time as MI Abaga on July 10.

In his words, he wrote:

“After over 15 Years as Mister Incredible, I will be retiring the name ‘MI Abaga’ and taking on a new name for a new project because my new project is hard AF and deserves a new name.

My final act as MI will be a performance at The Vibe on the 10th of July, where I will celebrate my legacy as Africa’s Greatest Rapper. See you all on stage.”
