Nigerian musician Blaqbonez has challenged creatives to remain humble, noting that not all talent would withstand the test of time.
Blaqbonez, nonetheless, was confident in his ability to remain relevant in the music industry for as long as he desires.
He said this while recounting how another up-and-coming rapper mocked him in a freestyle in 2017, after the unnamed rapper was signed to Olamide’s YBNL Nation.
He narrated that the then-YBNL signee mentioned his name in a freestyle, that he would never be successful in the music industry.
While he didn’t mention the rapper who allegedly mocked him during a freestyle on stage, fans are suspecting that he was referring to Limerick.
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.”
