I’m Disappointed In Wizkid – Rapper, Blaqbonez Spills
Emeka Akumefule, also known as Blaqbonez, a Nigerian ace rapper, has slammed Wizkid for launching a violent attack on Nigerian rappers.
Wizkid, the Afrobeats music sensation, recently said in an interview that he no longer listens to rap because he feels the genre is dull and dead, a comment that elicited a wide range of emotions from fans and rappers alike.
Blaqbonez commented on the situation on social media, saying that while being a great admirer of the internationally-recognized artist, he was saddened by the name-calling.
The rapper also promised to continue demonstrating to the world what it means to be a Nigerian rapper.
In a lengthy writeup on Twitter, he wrote; “The last few days had me reflecting, looking back at how far I’ve come, the Wins and the Losses, whatever rap may or may not be, it got me this, everything I have, the cult-like fans who by far are the best part of everything.
“I said that to say I’m disappointed, everyone knows I’m a big Wizkid fan, maybe even a d#ck rider on Twitter but rn I’m disappointed, I am, I can’t hide my emotions, I wasn’t even mad at the magazine article, those are conversations I’ve even had behind the scenes, but the actions that followed can’t be defended, heavily degrading and undeserved but I’d keep doing my thing, carrying the most bashed and the most attacked genre on my back, showing the world what a Nigerian rapper looks like.
“I’d keep dropping these hits, classic albums, selling out my shows, however far it takes me I’m good with it long as i can feed my family. With that said Stream Young Preacher forever.”
