Blaqbonez reveals why he’ll no longer drop snippets of his forthcoming songs.
Blaqbonez has warned followers not to anticipate any snippets of the music he intends to release on May 12.
He resorted to social media to explain why he believes releasing bits of his music detracts from the first-day listening experience.
Blaqbonez has stated that he wants his listeners to ‘unpack everything all at once’ and ‘lose their minds’ when they hear the new music.
To watch their initial reaction, he even asked people to record a video of their first listen.
In his words:
“I wont be posting any snippets of May 12th, cos I feel like them snippets are taking away from that first day listening experience.
“I need you guys to unpack everything all at once, I want you to LOSE YOUR MIND, and I need a favor, I want you to make a video of your first listen, I want to see your first reaction. thank you,” he tweeted.

Recall that Blaqbonez, who bills himself as the “Best Rapper in Africa,” resorted to social media to mock musicians who release new songs on the same dates when he drops his own projects.
Blaqbonez criticised Kanye West, DJ Khaled, Ariana Grande, Drake, Davido, and Asake for releasing music on the same day as his prior announcements in a video he posted on his social media platforms on Thursday.
“In 2020 when I announced my ‘Mr Bombastic’ album, Kanye West decided he was gonna drop the same day,” he began.
“In 2021, when I announced my ‘Sex Over Love’ album, DJ Khaled and Ariana Grande decided they were going to drop the same day.
“The year after that, I decided to announce my ‘Young Preacher’ album, Drake decided he was going to drop his album the same day.
A year after that, I announced March 31st, Davido decided he was going to drop the same day.
“Somewhere in between, I announced a day Asake said ‘I’m going to drop that day’. “
He went on to announce May 12 as the next day he plans to drop his music, warning other artists to steer clear of that date.
