Nigerian superstar rapper MI Abaga has speak out against the anti-gay laws in Nigeria.
The Chocolate City act makes reference to a lady that was sexually assault by a Taxify driver after she told him that she is a lesbian.
The rapper revealed that he has been friends with different sexual orientations and he thinks with the law in place, it’s not safe for them to disclose their sexuality.
He further went on to say that with the law in place, it is not safe for people of different sexual orientations to say it to someone.
A Twitter user called out the rapper, saying he disagreed with him, and M.I clarified his standpoint, saying:
“My thinking.. I was born straight.. I wd never want 2b punished 4 who I am.. because of this.. I wouldn’t punish som1 else for who they are
Cheating and adultery are wrong.. but they are not criminalized.. and no form of consensual adult expression of love should be.. my opinion”
