Nigerian rapper Emeka Akumefule, also known as Blaqbonez, has claimed that he is 50 times greater than Grammy-nominated singer Asake.
He said this in response to an unearthed 2019 tweet from then-up-and-coming artist Asake requesting that he follow him back.
It’s ridiculous to put Asake higher than Blaqbonez, according to an X user with the handle @thejacobsss. The rapper responded that Blaqbonez is a far greater artist than Asake.
“Asake is big, but saying he’s bigger than Blaqbonez is pure comedy walai,” the fan wrote.
Blaqbonez concurred: “Like people are funny. I’m 50x bigger. I sold out the O2 Arena in 1 minute; it took him longer.”
Contrary to Blaqbonez’s claim, he hasn’t sold out the 02 Arena, while Asake has sold out the venue twice.
Below are some reactions from Netizens:
