    The rapper asserts that, in the grand scheme of things, it doesn’t matter if someone is a nasty person who reads religious texts every day or doesn’t miss Sunday services.

    The artiste wrote: “If there’s indeed an afterlife, following any religion isn’t going to save you, being good to people, especially those u don’t have to would be the difference, nobody cares that u read a book every morning and don’t miss Sunday services if you’re an asshole.”

    Rapper Blaqbonez describes fame as punishment

    Rapper Emeka Akumefule, widely recognized as Blaqbonez, has lamented how fame consistently compels him to seek privacy in public spaces.

    He described fame as a form of punishment.

    He said “normal” people who are wealthier than celebrities don’t go through the stress celebrities go through because of fame.

    The ‘Like Ice Spice’ crooner lamented that he can’t have “actual fun” in Nigeria because he is famous.

    Speaking in the latest episode of the Afrobeats Intelligence Podcast hosted by Joey Akan, Blaqbonez said: “I think fame is a punishment. Normal people can have all the money in the world, and drive a way bigger car than I would drive. But in traffic, everybody will leave them and focus on me. Why?

    “Now, if I walk into a restaurant, everybody is on me. I can’t even do those basic things. Normal people can have 50 times my money, wear a regular T-shirt and just stroll. Nobody is checking what type of ring, or chain he is wearing or how fresh he is looking. No human being cares. They just go straight to the world to buy whatever they want. Enjoying whatever experiences.

    “I can’t even go out in Nigeria to have actual fun. I must be Blaqbonez. It feels like a crazy punishment. Other people who have way more money have a much easier life than me. I have to be hiding.”

    I can’t date a lady who tweets frequently – Blaqbonez

    Rapper Emeka Akumefule aka Blaqbonez has stated he cannot be with a lady who frequently tweets on the microblogging site Twitter, now called X. 

    The rapper recently featured on the Zero Conditions Podcast where he disclosed that he consistently avoids scandals, which is why he filters the women around him.

    He stressed that for this reason he does not like women who have many tweets and does not relate with them because he feels like they would air out his dirty laundry.

    He said: “I don’t really like to talk to people and females that have too many tweets. I don’t speak to them because I feel like you are two seconds away from going to tell the world about my business. You are literally two seconds away from blasting me, not even on the grounds of, ‘You’re trying to ruin me.’ You just tweet everything that goes on in your life.”

    “Me I have lots of tweets but if you go and check I don’t even make a lot of tweets, I retweet things. I’m not always talking. I 100% filter the babes coming my way, I’m upstanding about my peace I really care about my brand and peace. I don’t want to be with anyone who will soil it,” the rapper added.
