Thursday, May 28, 2026 - Nigerian rapper, Emeka Akumefule, popularly known as Blaqbonez, has claimed that the music industry is “very wicked.”
He expressed strong concern over excessive egos and lack of
support among musicians.
The ‘Chanel’ crooner lamented that he always supports his
colleagues when they release new music by sharing it on his social media pages
but they often ignore him whenever he needs their support.
On his X handle, he wrote, “I think this [music] 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 its crickets, the double standards.”
This is not the first time Blaqbonez will be making
allegations against his colleagues and the music industry generally.
In 2023, he accused some of his colleagues of using
streaming farms to artificially inflate their music streams and manipulate
charts.
Despite music executive Don Jazzy, rapper Odumodublvck and
others debunking Blaqbonez’s claims, he maintained that stream farming was real
and has done “irreversible damage” to the Nigerian music industry.
