In a recent revelation that has stirred conversations across the Nigerian entertainment scene, award-winning singer Waje has finally addressed long-standing rumours about her alleged romantic relationship with rapper M.I Abaga.
The speculation, which dates back several years, has often surfaced in interviews and on social media, with fans suggesting that the undeniable chemistry between the two artistes—both on and off the stage—hinted at something more than friendship. However, Waje has now put those whispers to rest.
Speaking candidly in a recent interview, the soulful songstress described her bond with M.I as purely platonic, emphasizing that their connection was rooted in mutual respect and artistic collaboration rather than romance.
“We were just friends,” Waje said plainly, addressing the topic with her characteristic grace. “M.I and I have always shared a great creative energy and friendship. People often misread that, but there was never anything romantic between us.”
The duo’s collaborations, particularly on tracks that showcased their emotional depth and vocal synergy, had fueled much of the public’s curiosity. Songs such as “One Naira” captured heartfelt storytelling and on-screen chemistry that left fans convinced there was more to their partnership.
Despite the rumours, both Waje and M.I have maintained professional admiration for each other over the years. Their mutual respect has stood the test of time, with neither allowing speculation to affect their friendship or creative synergy.
Waje, known for her powerful vocals and authenticity, went on to highlight the challenges that come with fame, particularly how public figures often have their personal lives dissected.
“People will always create stories around what they see,” she noted. “But as artists, we learn to focus on the music and the message rather than the noise.”
Her statement has been widely praised by fans and colleagues alike, with many commending her honesty and composure in handling persistent rumours.
As one of Nigeria’s most respected voices in music, Waje continues to inspire with her talent, confidence, and poise—reminding audiences that not every story told in the limelight is as it seems.
