MI Abaga, the ace Nigerian rapper, has unveiled Loye as the first artiste signed under ‘Incredible Music’, his record label.
In an interview with ‘City FM’, a Lagos-based radio station, MI spoke of how he discovered Loye after the artiste had already made contacts with other music labels.
The rapper said when he met the young singer, he knew Loye is destined for greatness.
He said he was impressed by Loye’s freestyle videos on social media and the fact he was already performing at local clubs.
MI said the reason he is yet to produce any song with Loye is that he wants him to settle in school.
“We are here, the Incredible Music, Loye is our first artiste,” he said.
“When I met Loye, already, Davido had reposted the viral thing that he had done. He was already talking to other labels.
“They are going to clubs, and joints to perform. Those things tell you a lot about the artiste. Where they are gonna go?
“Someone that has less than a thousand followers without music, just freestyling, has built his following up to 42k, 170k on TikTok. Those are the things. You can tell an artiste that is gonna do well.
“We haven’t put out any music. We are trying to say let us get Loye settled in school, him and his guys, because they were really in a tough situation.”
On January 27, the rapper described Loye as a “special and once in a life time generational talent” on Twitter.
MI also asked his Twitter followers to “share your light with him as he launches his career today!”.

During the recent interview, MI said his new record label plans to collaborate with top music firms — including Chocolate City.
“We are open to working with anybody. Me and Choc, we are talking now,” he added.
In 2020, MI announced his exit from Chocolate City, after 13 years with the label.
He said he was going “to pursue his own dream” as a record label owner.
