Nigerian music star, Emeka Akumefule professionally known as Blaqbonez has reacted to Super Eagles’ failure to win the title at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
Nigeria lost 2-1 to Cote D’Ivoire at the finals of AFCON and reactions, including from celebrities, have been trailing the outcome of their performance.
Blaqbonez who commented through Twitter, said he is not surprised that Nigeria lost the game because the team’s performance throughout AFCON had been unimpressive.
According to him, any true football fanatic would admit that the wins by Jose Peseiro’s side were ‘flukes’ that didn’t move him.
The rapper wrote; “Now that we’ve lost lets say the truth, we have been shit this whole tournament, anybody that knows football knows, all those fluke ass wins never moved me.”
