Nigerian rapper Blaqbonez has advised artists to stay rooted, emphasising that not every talent will thrive in the long run.
However, Blaqbonez expressed certainty that he will stay relevant in the music industry for as long as he wants.
He said this in reference to a 2017 freestyle in which a fellow up-and-coming rapper made fun of him after the unnamed rapper signed with Olamide YBNL Nation.
He said that during a freestyle, the then-YBNL signee named dropped him and predicted that he would never succeed in the music business.
Fans believe he was talking to Limerick, even though he didn’t name the rapper who supposedly made fun of him during a freestyle on stage.
In a series of tweets, Blaqbonez wrote, “Because u got a deal before me, you added my name to your freestyles, ‘you no go ever blow like Blaqbonez’, all because Olamide signed you, you thought he was God abi??”
“I pray u see these tweets and reflect on your life, at how quick u were ready to sh*t on people, we were in rap battle groups together for years, but as them sign u, it was time to shit on me, my work ethic & everything cos you saw into the future and knew I was never going to blow up right??”
“No be every kind of talent fit last for years, I know who I am, I will be here for as long I want to be, the music i make nobody can make it, I have fans that have been there since the very beginning, not the ones wey discover me with ‘Bling’ or all that sh*t, the ones I’m talking about know themselves.”
