My aunt’s marriage to a rich man rescued me from poverty – Blaqbonez

Nigerian rapper, Emeka Akumefule aka Blaqbonez, has said he was saved from poverty by his aunt getting married to a financially stable man.

He said his family used to live in a poor ‘face me I face you’ neighbourhood but it was his aunt’s marriage that took them to a new highbrow location.

Blaqbonez shared the story while speaking in favour of marriage as an institution being very important in the society.

According to the Hip Hop artiste, his aunt moved from Ijesha to a three bedroom house in Magodo and that transition changed his life.

He took to his Twitter page and urged people to get married because it could help raise the next rapper out of the trenches.

Blaqbonez wrote; ”Marriage is great, used to live in a face me i face u till my aunt married someone who had a 3 bedroom. that’s how my life changed. Get married guys, it might take the next best rapper out the trenches

The face me I face u was located in Ijesha, the 3 bedroom was in magodo. It was a massive change in reality. Thank God for marriage.”
