Nigerian rapper Emeka Akumefule, popularly known as Blaqbonez, has described the music industry as “very wicked,” expressing frustration over what he sees as a lack of support and overwhelming egos among artists.
The ‘Chanel’ crooner revealed that he often promotes his colleagues’ music on his social media platforms whenever they release new songs, but claimed the same energy is rarely returned when he drops his own projects.
Taking to his X handle, Blaqbonez wrote: “I think this industry is very wicked because since I dropped Chanel, none of my peers have posted it.
“@Drake I posted yours last week, @centralcee @1future @1GunnaGunna I support you when you drop but when I put out the biggest song of the summer it’s crickets, the double standards.”
This is not the first time the rapper has publicly criticized the music industry and his colleagues.
Back in 2023, Blaqbonez alleged that some artists were using streaming farms to artificially boost their music streams and manipulate chart rankings.
Although music executive Don Jazzy, rapper Odumodublvck, and others dismissed his claims, Blaqbonez insisted that stream farming exists and argued that it has caused “irreversible damage” to the Nigerian music industry.
