Jude Abaga, often known as MI, and his wife, Eniola Mafe, have come up about their battle with a medical ailment.
According to the rapper, they are suffering from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
ADHD is one of the most common childhood neurodevelopmental diseases. It is typically diagnosed in childhood and might extend into adulthood. Children with ADHD may struggle to pay attention, regulate impulsive behaviours (may act without considering the outcome), or be extremely active.
The couple stated on the Aproko Doctor podcast that one method they have been able to combat ADHD is by “building the habit of communicating and understanding.”

Mafe stated that she was diagnosed at the age of 19 and that the medical problem afflicted her when she was in school. She said, “It’s not this thing you can cut out. It’s actually who you are. It is actually how you think, accepts the world, reject, and everything.
“It was for me realising that all the things that didn’t seem to make sense about me. It affected me in school. My inability to gather thoughts.”
MI, the many-time award-winning rap artist, said while telling his story, “For me, my childhood was just that I loved music. It was tough for me to read in class, probably because I wasn’t paying attention. If I was really interested in something art, I will be excelling really well, while my school was suffering for it.
“By the time I went to college, I figured out that the ADHD thing was me and I still couldn’t connect the two dots together. I think the first time that I really got a sense of how much it can control a person was in our relationship when Eni would explain.”
MI continued, “And I googled it and it was almost like a weight off my shoulder. I can look back at some of those things differently now that it was always going to be part of my journey in life.
“To me, it’s both the thing that has given me so much, because it is where I go to like create and at the same time it’s the part of me that I want to understand the most.”
