Renowned Nigerian rapper and music producer MI Abaga recently shared candid reflections about his thoughts on fatherhood and the timing of having children. Speaking openly, he revealed the emotional complexity behind watching peers and family members become parents while he was still without a child.
At 37 years old, MI Abaga found himself contemplating the reality of approaching 40 without having a child. He noted:
“When I was 37, I thought about the fact that I was going to 40 but didn’t have a child yet. Some of my friends who had kids when they were 25 — 26, some of those kids are 15 — 16 years now, & entering the university.”
He also mentioned his younger brother, Jesse Jagz, whose daughter is now nearly 21 years old — a milestone that further emphasized the difference in life timelines.
Despite the initial sting of feeling “behind,” MI Abaga shared an important insight about readiness:
“But then, I thought it too that I wasn’t ready. And when you’re not ready, you’re not ready. And besides, everyone’s timeline is different.”
His message highlights the importance of personal readiness over societal expectations, encouraging others to respect their own journeys.
MI’s openness has resonated with many fans and followers who relate to the pressure of societal timelines for major life events. His honest take on fatherhood adds a new dimension to his public persona, showing the man behind the music as thoughtful and introspective.
As MI Abaga approaches his 40s, many await to see how he balances his evolving personal life with his ever-successful career. For now, his reflections serve as a reminder that life’s milestones happen at different paces — and that’s okay.
