Nigerian rapper Emeka Akumefule, popularly known as Blaqbonez, has claimed that he has more music than every artiste in the country.
The ‘Like Ice Spice’ crooner said he might not be the most successful artiste in Nigeria, but he has a huge discography because he was consistently releasing songs every week years ago.
Speaking at a recent music masterclass, Blaqbonez said he was winning rap competitions all over Nigeria in 2011.
He said, “I used to drop music every week. I have more music than every artiste that exists in Nigeria. I tell you for a fact.
“I’m not the most successful artist. I’m not bragging, but I’ve dropped more music. That’s how I build everything I built. Some people want to judge me based on what you can see, but the sh*t that you could not see, I was winning rap competitions all over Nigeria from 2011.”
Earlier, Blaqbonez had boasted that only three Nigerian artists have a better catalogue than him.
Blaqbonez wrote, “Asides the big 3 or 4 or whatever number u guys currently recognise, nobody, I repeat, nobody has a better catalogue than me.”
His claim didn’t sit down well with his colleague, Joeboy, who quoted his tweet with a meme of late pop star Michael Jackson telling an armed man to “calm down.”
