“Asake Is Big, But Saying He’s Bigger Than Me Is Pure Comedy Walai” – Blaqbonez Claims
Nigerian rapper Emeka Akumefule, better known as Blaqbonez, recently stirred up some controversy with bold claims about his status in the music industry, stating that he is “50 times bigger” than fellow Nigerian artist Asake.
The rapper made these comments after a 2019 tweet from Asake resurfaced.
In the tweet, Asake, who was still building his career at the time, asked Blaqbonez to follow him back on social media.
The comment caused arguments among fans, with one user, @thejacobsss, suggesting that it was “hilarious” to rank Asake as bigger than Blaqbonez.
This prompted a reaction from the rapper, who agreed with the fan’s assessment, adding that he is much larger than Asake in terms of popularity.
Blaqbonez went on to say, “Asake is big, but saying he’s bigger than Blaqbonez is pure comedy walai”.
He further emphasized his own success by stating, “I’m 50x bigger. I sold out the O2 Arena in 1 minute; it took him longer.”
However, while Blaqbonez’s claim about selling out the O2 Arena in one minute is bold, it doesn’t hold up against the facts.
Asake has indeed sold out the prestigious venue twice, showcasing his immense popularity, especially in the UK.
This inconsistency in Blaqbonez’s statement has raised questions about the rapper’s claims.

Nigerian social media influencer and personality GehGeh has called out youths for not speaking up against security challenges in Nigeria.
He took to social media and compared the situation with South Africa, saying:
“See how South African people came out to carry out a mission and their government supported them quietly. You see their police force supporting them too.”
“But here in Nigeria, our police are looking for yahoo boys and private chef girls, and the youths are not even ready to stand up to take back their country from these evil politicians.”

“After wrapping up three weddings in 2025 — a court wedding in Monaco, a traditional Nigerian wedding in Dubai, and a church wedding in Iceland — we wanted to end the year with a 2-month, digital-detoxed honeymoon, travelling across Korea and Japan. That’s when we found out!”
