Nigerian rapper Blaqbonez has advised creatives to remain humble as not all talents will have lasting success in the industry.
Despite facing criticism from a fellow rapper who signed with YBNL Nation in 2017, Blaqbonez remains confident in his own longevity in the music scene.
The rapper revealed that his detractor had once name-dropped him in a freestyle as a dig at his career prospects, but Blaqbonez has since proven his doubters wrong.
Though he did not mention the name of the rapper who mocked him, Blaqbonez’s belief in his own talent and perseverance are unwavering.
In a series of tweets, Blaqbonez wrote, “Because u got a deal before me, you added my name to your freestyles, ‘you no go ever blow like Blaqbonez’, all because Olamide signed you, you thought he was God abi??”
“I pray u see these tweets and reflect on your life, at how quick u were ready to sh*t on people, we were in rap battle groups together for years, but as them sign u, it was time to shit on me, my work ethic & everything cos you saw into the future and knew I was never going to blow up right??”
“No be every kind of talent fit last for years, I know who I am, I will be here for as long I want to be, the music i make nobody can make it, I have fans that have been there since the very beginning, not the ones wey discover me with ‘Bling’ or all that sh*t, the ones I’m talking about know themselves.”
