Joeboy reacts as Blaqbonez claims only three Nigerian artists have more hits than him
Renowned rapper and singer Blaqbonez, recently made a bold assertion, claiming that only a select few Nigerian artists have a superior catalogue to his own.
Engaging in banter with critics on the X platform on Tuesday, Blaqbonez declared, “Asides the big 3 or 4 or whatever number u guys currently recognise, nobody, I repeat, nobody has a better catalogue than me.”
However, his assertion met with resistance from his colleague, Joeboy, who responded by quoting Blaqbonez’s tweet with a meme featuring the late pop star Michael Jackson urging an armed individual to “calm down.”
Unfazed by Joeboy’s dissent, Blaqbonez fired back with a meme suggesting that Joeboy is not “a worthy challenger” for him, expressing his frustration at the disagreement.
The exchange between Blaqbonez and Joeboy has sparked discussions among fans and music enthusiasts, with many weighing in on the debate over the quality of artists’ catalogues in the Nigerian music scene.
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.
