Blaqbonez<\/strong> has always been unapologetically himself, and in his conversation with Chude Jideonwo<\/strong> on #WithChude<\/strong><\/a>, he opened up about his journey, from his childhood to his bold perspective on love, marriage, and music. Growing up in Ijesha, the talented rapper recalls his humble beginnings as the only child of his mother, with whom he shares a close bond.<\/p>\n The artist also shared his thoughts on marriage and family, projecting that in the next 3 to 5 years, he\u2019ll likely settle down. His views on love are unconventional, as he\u2019s not against the idea of love itself, but rather the traditional ways it\u2019s often defined.<\/p>\n Blaqbonez also reflected on his 2022 concert campaign, \u201cBreaking the Yoke of Love Crusade With Blaqbonez<\/strong>,\u201d which caught many people\u2019s attention for its creative approach. The campaign wasn\u2019t just about the concert; it showed how he approaches everything with an artistic mindset, always pushing boundaries and doing things his way.<\/p>\n When it comes to his music, Blaqbonez doesn\u2019t hold back. \u201cI write exactly how I feel, exactly where I am in that moment, and I\u2019m unapologetic about it,\u201d he said. His music comes from an honest place, and that\u2019s something fans really connect with. He\u2019s not afraid to show his emotions, and it\u2019s that rawness that makes his music stand out.<\/p>\n Blaqbonez talked about winning the 2023 Headies Award<\/a> for Best Rap Album which he says was another moment of surprise for him. While he doesn\u2019t really focus on awards, he was humbled by the recognition. But for Blaqbonez, it\u2019s not about the trophies\u2014he\u2019s already confident in his place in the music world. \u201cI\u2019m the best rapper in Africa,\u201d he said with a smile.<\/p>\n Looking forward, he\u2019s excited about his next project, \u201cOf Many Colors<\/strong><\/a>,\u201d which is set to drop in March. This album, he explains, is like a meeting point of all the different sides of him. The colour blue represents his hip-hop side, orange is for the high-energy Blaqbonez, and red is for the emotional side of his music.<\/p>\n Catch the full conversation with Blaqbonez below<\/p>\n
