Blaqbonez Declares Himself the Best Rapper in Africa.
In a bold assertion that has sparked discussions across the music industry, Nigerian rapper Emeka Akumefule, commonly known as Blaqbonez, has proclaimed himself the best rapper on the African continent. In a recent interview with Chude, Blaqbonez confidently stated, “I still think I am the best rapper ever in Africa. No one has a better discography than me.”
Blaqbonez’s claims are underscored by his prolific output and commitment to his craft. The artist, known for his hit single ‘Emeka Must Shine,’ has previously referred to himself as Nigeria’s most prolific musician, with an extensive catalog rumored to consist of thousands of songs. At one point in his career, he garnered attention for releasing new material weekly, a testament to his dedication and work ethic.
While Blaqbonez’s declarations are ambitious, they fuel an ongoing conversation about talent, artistry, and the evolving landscape of African music. As fans continue to debate the merits of his claims, one thing remains clear: Blaqbonez is not only a defining figure in Nigerian hip-hop but also a significant contributor to the broader African music scene. Whether or not he is the “best” remains subjective, but his impact is undeniably significant.
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.

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.

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.
