Rapper Emeka Akumefule, popularly known as Blaqbonez, has made a bold claim regarding his stature compared to fellow artist Asake. This assertion was made public on December 4, 2024.
Blaqbonez's statement, "I'm 50 times bigger than Asake," was a response to a resurfaced tweet from 2019 where Asake, then an emerging artist, requested a follow-back from Blaqbonez.
The conversation gained traction when an X user, @thejacobsss, remarked on the humor in ranking Asake higher than Blaqbonez. Blaqbonez agreed with this sentiment, emphasizing his perceived superiority by claiming, "I sold out the O2 Arena in 1 minute; it took him longer."
However, this claim by Blaqbonez does not align with the facts presented in the article. Contrary to his statement, Blaqbonez has not sold out the O2 Arena, whereas Asake has achieved this feat twice. This discrepancy highlights the competitive nature of self-promotion tactics often employed by artists in the industry.
