In a recent social media interaction, Nigerian rapper Emeka Akumefule, widely known as Blaqbonez, asserted that he is “50 times bigger” than Grammy-nominated artist Asake. This bold declaration arose in response to a resurfaced tweet from 2019, in which Asake, then an emerging talent, had requested Blaqbonez to follow him back on social media.

The discussion intensified when a user on X, identified as @thejacobsss, humorously suggested that ranking Asake higher than Blaqbonez was absurd. Blaqbonez appeared to agree with this sentiment, stating, “Asake is big, but saying he’s bigger than Blaqbonez is pure comedy walai.” He further emphasized his claim by referencing his purported ability to sell out the O2 Arena in just one minute, contrasting it with Asake’s longer timeframe for achieving the same feat.

However, it is important to note that Blaqbonez has not actually sold out the O2 Arena, while Asake has successfully done so on two occasions. This discrepancy raises questions about the accuracy of Blaqbonez’s assertions and highlights the competitive nature of the Nigerian music industry, where artists often engage in playful rivalries. As the conversation unfolds, it reflects the dynamic landscape of contemporary Afrobeat and hip-hop culture in Nigeria.
