Now, M.I has responded publicly to Vector and he has done it with a song titled The Viper. Explaining his decision via his Instagram account, M.I revealed how Vector has hated him since day 1 and how Vector has been jealous of him and his success for a long time.

There has also been insinuations in some quarters that the beef between the two acts was all planned and could be a publicity stunt aimed at furthering the career of both Vector and M.I.

But according to two sources close to both rappers, this beef is not in any way a publicity stunt. The issues both men have with each other are real.

Aisosa Okundaye, a PR Executive with Chocolate City M.I Abaga’s record label confirmed to a reporter that the beef is real as real can get.
