Veteran Nigerian rapper MI Abaga has opened up about personal regrets that have shaped his life, admitting that learning to roll cannabis is one of his biggest.
In a candid conversation on the Konnected Minds podcast, the respected lyricist reflected on habits and decisions he wishes he could undo, particularly the one that enabled a pattern of excessive smoking.
“One of the worst things I wish I could unlearn was learning how to roll cannabis,” MI shared. “If I never learned it, I’d probably smoke with more moderation. But because I know how to roll, I do it when I wake up, in the studio, I don’t even let anyone do it for me.”
While clarifying that he doesn’t use hard drugs or mix substances, he explained that the convenience of rolling his own joints made it easier to overindulge.
Beyond habits, MI also took a moment to speak on past relationship mistakes, revealing that he’s made choices he still regrets, particularly when it comes to how he treated women in his life.
“I’ve broken a few hearts that I regret,” he confessed. “I’ve messed up in some relationships that I wish I could turn back the hands of time on. But everything happens for a reason.”
He described losing “amazing angels” over seemingly small but costly decisions, like replying to messages or following people he shouldn’t have engaged with online.
“I’ve made a lot of mistakes, especially with women,” he added. “Some of them were so minor, a follow back, a text. But they cost me great relationships. As you grow older, you just learn to live with the regrets and try not to repeat them.”
MI’s honest revelations have sparked conversations among fans about personal accountability, growth, and the lessons life teaches, often the hard way.
