Ace rapper, Emeka “Blaqbonez” Akumefule has stated that he is constantly overrated due to people not being able to relate to his style of music because it is ‘brand new’.
The ‘Haba’ crooner said fans mostly prefer listening to Afrobeats songs, which lacks substance, and those that love his songs chose to break out from the norm.
He stated this in response to a fan that said; “Blaqbonez is so underrated, every project he drops is perfection. He offers some of the best Afrobeats I’ve ever heard.”
Blaqbonez tweeted; “I’m constantly underrated cos my shit is brand new, they never heard it before, its not what the doctor prescribed, they prefer those that use the exact same boring recipe everytime and thats why afrobeats sounds like ASS these days (yes i said it).
But i will never conform, the people that listen to me are the people that chose to break out of the norm to make their own choices, and I know they appreciate the sacrifice ❤️”
A Twitter user took to the comment section and criticised him for talking down on Afrobeats while featuring artistes that fall under the genre.
“Blaqbonez you don dey gba small small. You said Afrobeat is sounds like asss, for your own mouth? But you dey feature Afrobeat artists on your projects, and Afrobeat artists dey feature you too. Why didn’t you deny it?” the tweep wrote.
In response, the Hip Hop star said; “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.”
