Chocolate City executive and rapper, M.I Abaga, is in a mourning mood because of the loss of his former bodyguard.

Williams Egbo, fondly known as Big Willie, worked as a bodyguard to M.I and Wande Coal.

Eulogising his former employee, M.I said, 'I can finally bring myself to write a tribute to you my friend. You were the gentle giant that had my back. Sometimes the people you work with are staff. Sometimes they become family and you were definitely a big brother to me.

'I have worked with countless security agencies but have never felt safer than when you were by my side! I regret that I was not there in those final days to let you know how much I will miss knowing that you were there if ever I needed you. Goodnight to the best to ever do it Big Willie.'

Meanwhile, N6, Phyno have sent their condolences to M.I.
