Blaqbonez, the well-known Nigerian rapper Emeka Akumefule, shares personal details about his life and calls attention to himself as a “crazy punishment.”
The BBL crooner said this when he appeared on the most recent episode of Joey Akan’s Afrobeats Intelligence Podcast.
Blaqbonez claims that those who are seen as “normal” and have greater income than superstars do not go through the same amount of stress that comes with being famous.
The singer of “Like Ice Spice” vented his annoyance, claiming that his fame in Nigeria prevents him from truly enjoying life.
In his words;
“I think fame is a punishment. Normal people can have all the money in the world, and drive a way bigger car than I would drive. But in traffic, everybody will leave them and focus on me. Why?
“Now, if I walk into a restaurant, everybody is on me. I can’t even do those basic things. Normal people can have 50 times my money, wear a regular T-shirt and just stroll. Nobody is checking what type of ring, or chain he is wearing or how fresh he is looking. No human being cares. They just go straight to the world to buy whatever they want. Enjoying whatever experiences.
“I can’t even go out in Nigeria to have actual fun. I must be Blaqbonez. It feels like a crazy punishment. Other people who have way more money have a much easier life than me. I have to be hiding.”
