The burden of running one of Nigeria’s biggest record labels, Chocolate City, has fallen on the shoulders of one of the nation’s rap champions, Jude Abaga, aka Mr Incredible. Though the former CEO of the label, Audu Makori hinted that he would be handing over the baton in July, it still came as a shock to many.
However, once he was confirmed as the newest boss in town on Tuesday, MI got the entire Chocolate City family together to make a short appreciation video which he posted on Instagram. “On behalf of Chocolate City, we just want to say big thank you to the greatest CEO ever, Audu Makori’, he said in the 15 seconds clip. This was followed by shouts of ‘thank you Audu’ by those featured in the video.
He also captioned the clip; “Big thanks greatest CEO ever @audumaikori the real MVP you have blessed lives.. Changed destinies.. Affected your generation.. History will sing your praises… God Bless you Sir!!!”
After 10 years of hard work, Audu Makori handed over the reins of Chocolate City yesterday to MI while Panshak ‘Ice Prince’ Zamani comes as the Vice President of the music label.
It will be recalled that in April 2015, at the Nigeria Entertainment Conference, Maikori hinted of his resignation, which got MI commending him.
Maikori has also congratulated his former Vice, MI Abaga, on his new role. “The New CEO of @choccitymusic is @MI_Abaga ! Congratulations to a great leader and partner! The New Vice President at Chocolate City Music is @Iceprincezamani ! Congratulations to you my brother,” Makori announced.
