Nigerian rapper Emeka Akumefule, better known as Blaqbonez, has tackled his father for calling him “disrespectful — after years of abandonment”.
The rapper took to his Twitter page to share the screenshot of the message from his father.
He also claimed that when he was through with his university education, he had visited his dad in Lagos for help. He added that his father ignored him.
“My dad that ran to another country when i was born, didn’t ever see him till i was a teenager is talking to me about disrespect. when I finished uni and came to Lagos i asked for his help, man left me on read. Fast forward 2 years of not talking he sends this. Life” he wrote.
The gifted rapper, however, went further to say that following his growing fame, his dad sent him a message, referring to him as “disrespectful” — for not “recognizing” him as his father.
“Last Christmas he didn’t feel disrespected that we didn’t talk Christmas/ new year, but now I’m good he popping up talking about disrespect. Smh,” he added.
He also had a message for those going through similar condition.
“To anybody that might be going through the same thing, don’t stop don’t feel like anybody owes you something just keep grindingggg,” he said.
Born in 1996, Blaqbonez is widely known for his controversial self-proclaimed status as the “best rapper in Africa”, which became one of the most talked about topic in the Nigerian hip hop space in 2019.
