In a groundbreaking move to address the importance of mental health within the entertainment industry, renowned Nigerian rapper, songwriter, producer, and CEO of TASCK, Jude Abaga, popularly known as M.I Abaga, is set to lead a compelling panel discussion on the second day of the Incredible Music Festival.

The discussion centered on Mental Health: Navigating Mental Health Challenges in The Creative Community is a significant step toward fostering awareness and understanding of the challenges faced by artists and industry professionals.

With an illustrious career in the music scene, M.I Abaga has not only been a powerhouse in the Nigerian music industry but is now championing a cause that is often overlooked. This is because per WHO, the likelihood of a mental health problem in the creative industry is three times that of the general population. The most commonly diagnosed disorders were anxiety (36%) and depression (32%).

I believe that conversations like this will help in addressing the mental health status of creatives in Nigeria, Africa, and the world in general. We must pay utmost attention to the state of our mental health, because from there springs off the strength and energy to lead for a change in Africa
