Blaqbonez Addresses Age Controversy: “I Am 30, Not Close to 40”.
Nigerian rapper Emeka Akumefule, widely known by his stage name Blaqbonez, has recently taken steps to address the swirling controversy regarding his age. The discussion gained momentum following the release of his hit single “Like Ice Spice,” prompting various speculations online.
In a candid interview with Naija FM in Lagos, Blaqbonez clarified the rumors that suggested he might be nearing 40 years of age. He emphatically stated, “I am not close to 40. I am 30. But I guess that’s close to 40 than closer to zero.” This light-hearted remark not only addresses the speculation but also highlights the often exaggerated discussions surrounding celebrity ages.
As Blaqbonez continues to rise in prominence within Nigeria’s vibrant music scene, his declaration serves as a reminder of the unpredictability and intrigue surrounding public figures. With his music resonating with audiences, it is clear that age remains merely a number in the realm of artistry.
The Nigerian film industry is in mourning following the death of Kayode Peters, a renowned filmmaker and producer. The news was announced by his family on his official Instagram page, stating that he passed away peacefully on the morning of Saturday, June 28, 2025, in Toronto, Canada, after a long illness.
Peters, fondly known as KP, was celebrated for his contributions as a filmmaker, actor, and producer. He was known for his role as Koko in the popular sitcoms “Twilight Zone” and “Flatmates” in the early 2000s. His work also extended to stage plays and sitcoms like “Extended Family” and “Being Farouk,” significantly impacting Nigeria’s contemporary theatre and television landscape.
He is survived by his wife, Alexander, and their children. Funeral arrangements are underway, and further details will be shared by the family in due course. The industry and fans alike will deeply miss his warmth, generosity, and contributions to Nollywood.
Popular Nigerian skit maker, Carter Efe, has reportedly lost access to his Instagram and TikTok accounts. This development follows recent criticism leveled against Afrobeat artist Wizkid during a TikTok live stream.
Efe’s comments, in which he accused Wizkid of pride, triggered a backlash from Wizkid’s fanbase, known as Wizkid FC. Subsequently, Efe claimed on X (formerly Twitter) that his Instagram account, boasting 1.8 million followers, was taken down by Wizkid FC. He later released an apology video stating that his TikTok account had also been blocked.
Efe has appealed to Wizkid and Wizkid FC for forgiveness and the restoration of his accounts.
Gabriel Oche Amanyi, known as Terry G, has asserted his significant contribution to the Nigerian music landscape. The “Akpoko Master,” pioneer of the “Street-hop” movement in the 2010s, stated that his influence is undeniable when discussing cultural impact within the Nigerian music industry.
His comments, made via social media on Wednesday, arrive amidst ongoing discussions regarding impact and legacies, spurred by the recent exchange between Odumodublvck and Blaqbonez.
In his statement on X, Terry G declared, “You can’t talk about cultural impact in Nigeria without talking about Terry G. I am the culture!” This pronouncement underscores his belief in his lasting effect on the evolution of Nigerian music.
