Nobody has a better catalogue than me – Blaqbonez
Nigerian rapper Blaqbonez, renowned for his hit “Like Ice Spice,” set social media ablaze with a recent assertion.
In a bold tweet, Blaqbonez conceded that only “the big 3 or 4” Nigerian artists surpass him in discography strength, vehemently declaring, “NOBODY, I repeat NOBODY has a better catalogue than me.”
This daring claim was prompted by criticism he received for asserting that his two latest tracks surpassed every 2023 Afrobeats offering. The rapper even went as far as expressing disappointment with the direction of Afrobeats, dubbing it “ASS,” much to the chagrin of fans.

Blaqbonez’s statement ignited a fervent debate among fans and music enthusiasts. Some lauded his confidence and self-assurance, citing his consistent output and remarkable versatility across various hip-hop subgenres. Conversely, detractors questioned the criteria for a “better catalogue.”
I’ve only added 2 songs on my rotation this year, and its been 3 months, most releases have been ass, I don’t even bother to play the top 100 again, cos that one is designed by farmers https://t.co/JK7fQ382JI

This isn’t the first instance Blaqbonez has courted controversy with his outspoken demeanor. His “Best Rapper In Africa” moniker, often wielded in a playful yet assured manner, has previously stirred debate. This latest claim only adds to Blaqbonez’s reputation as a confident, at times audacious, artist.
One thing is certain: Blaqbonez’s remarks have Nigerians talking. Whether fans align with his sentiments or not, there’s no denying his talent and ability to provoke discussion. Only time will reveal how his claim ages, but it’s clear Blaqbonez isn’t hesitant to challenge the status quo.
