On April 8, 2015, the rapper confirmed his reunion when he posted a photo which pictured him with his brother M.I Abaga, President of Chocolate City, Audu Maikori, and Loopy Music rapper, Loose Kaynon, at office of PR firm BHM Group.
He further tweeted a cryptic message, which read: “Get ready for a surprise”.
However, after another two years, the wordsmith finally revealed why he took the decision to leave the record label again. He said, “There is nothing personal about me leaving Chocolate City; it was just a business move and it’s about me having more creative control over my work.”
Speaking on what he has been up to, the ‘Jargo’ rapper said, “I’m currently working on an album and I’m just putting final touches to it.

“The album will be released under the imprint of Jagz Nation and the album is titled Odyseus. It’s going to be all about good music and will be released to the public in the last week of July.”
On whether his former label has any input in the forthcoming album, he said, “I’m done with Chocolate City and we do not have any deal together. I didn’t work with MI on this album, though I may work with him in future. People have always been speculating that we are not on good terms. Even as far back as when we were born. We are on very good terms but this is business and we are on two different record labels,” he said.
According to Jagz, he may also be signing new artists later in the year but for now, “we are concentrating on my album,” he added.
