Blaqbonez Speaks on Longevity in Music Says Not Every Talent Will Last
Nigerian rapper Blaqbonez has advised creatives to remain humble, stressing that not every talent can withstand the test of time. He expressed confidence in his ability to remain relevant in the music industry for as long as he chooses.
Reflecting on his journey, Blaqbonez recounted a 2017 incident where an up-and-coming rapper mocked him in a freestyle after securing a deal with Olamide’s YBNL Nation. The unnamed artist allegedly claimed that Blaqbonez would never achieve success. Although he did not directly mention the rapper’s name, fans speculate that he was referring to Limerick.
In a series of tweets, Blaqbonez expressed his disappointment over how some artists quickly dismiss others once they attain fame. He urged his former competitor to reflect on his past actions, emphasizing that true success is not about momentary achievements but consistency and resilience in the industry.
The rapper reaffirmed his commitment to his craft, stating that his distinctive sound sets him apart and ensures his longevity. He acknowledged the unwavering support of his loyal fans, particularly those who have been with him from the beginning, long before his mainstream hits like Bling.
Blaqbonez’s statement serves as a reminder to artists that sustained success requires more than just talent—it demands dedication, perseverance, and humility.
