M.I EXPRESSES DISPLEASURE AT RICK ROSS' VIDEO SHOT IN NIGERIA


Rapper M.I has expressed is displeasure at Rick Ross' 'Hold Me Back' video shot in Nigeria. Read what the rapper wrote on his website below...

Is it not the height of disrespect and insensitivity? Does it not chafe against the thick skin you have grown to cover your other wounds?
