The music industry has witnessed one of the most iconic wordsmiths, “Blaqbonez” in a twist of fate from being a Twitter noisemaker to an O2 Arena performer.
Blaqbonez, one of Nigeria’s foremost rappers still holding the hip-hop game in West Africa has transcended from his local base to the global space of O2 Arena!
Mp3bullet.ng shares with you, the glorious journey to the dreamland!
Diligently and persistently, the Bling hit-maker has served the music industry judiciously, dropping back-to-back sensations, both as singles and features.
Although the rapper has been around for some years, he didn’t start getting his desired recognition till 2018 with his project, “Bad Boy Blaq“.
In the light of his blooming career, the artiste leveraged and gave his fans another awesome project the following year – Mr Boombastic.
Fast-forward to 2020, he unlocked his record-breaking song, BBC, before dropping his debut album this year, “Sex Over Love“.
Blended in a series of genres ranging, hip-hop, Afropop, Highlife, etc, the project was an instant success!
Like every other rising star, Blaqbonez has always had a soft spot for Wizkid and his music.
More often, the rap smith has pronounced his love for the singer, even to the extent of idolizing him.
In good faith, the artiste can proudly stan as part of the Wizkid FC and not just with words, but deeds.

Despite releasing bars and vibes, Blaqbonez has always been identified with a flaw and that’s his consistent rants on social media. More importantly, his preferred platform, “Twitter”!
On several occasions, he has had to deal with congruous drags, involvement in unnecessary dramas et al.
In spite of all these social media dramas, he still got his desired fantasy with his favourite artiste.
Earlier this year, news broke out that both vocalists had something cooking up for fans, as they linked up in Ghana.
It was a video clip of the pair dancing along to a reggae instrumental played in the background.

For so many artistes, performing at the O2 Arena in London is a reverie, considering the glory and global recognition that comes with it.
Like performing at the ‘Coachella’, the O2 represents a unified ground where the best of the bests display their prowess.
Meeting the glorious 20,000 seaters stadium is equivalent to gaining a global podium, with the intent of making the best of the shine!
Wizkid who started his Made In Lagos O2 Arena three-day Tour from the 28th of November till the 1st of December was Bonez’s stepping stone into actualizing this dream.
Revealing his excitement at the opening for Wizkid at the Arena, Blaqbonez described 2021 as the best year of his life so far.
In his words; “went from being a nuisance on Twitter to opening for Wizkid at the f**king o2. 2021 has been a blessing!!!”
This means a lot for Blaqbonez and the industry at large. For his career, this is beyond performing, this is putting him at the top-tier level; it’s unleashing him into the largest music conglomerate in the globe.
A lot comes from this, the experience, the presence, the prominence, and every other desired vision it encompasses!
Watch the blissful moment Wizkid brought Blaqbonez out!
The safari to the utopia of o2 Arena was not easy, but through fervency and perseverance, Blaqbonez achieved his long-time dream!!!
