Nigerian rapper Blaqbonez has raised the alarm that his life is being threatened by some persons he refused to name.
The rapper made the claim in a post on X while responding to a fan who expressed worry after saying he won’t spend 15 years in the music industry despite being just 29.
In addition, Blaq claimed in his post that his fans have nothing to worry about as he’d already recorded three albums to keep his legacy alive in the event of his death.
The fan with the handle @LfCPraise had written, “I no understand, no kpai o. Abeg.”

In response, the rapper wrote, “Them say them go kill me, but I don record enough for 3 more albums, no fear, because rap actually hard for some people.”
This exchange between the rapper and the fan happened amid a raging beef between Blaq and fellow rapper Odumodublvck.
The beef escalated on Sunday, with both rappers launching direct attacks.
It all started days ago after Blaq dissed Odumodublvck in his latest song with A-Q, ‘Who’s Really Rapping.’

The duo initially started throwing indirect shades at each other on X. Still, the situation has since escalated after Odumodublvck replied to a tweet by Blaq claiming rap is difficult for some rappers.
Odumodublvck countered Blaq, saying if rap was difficult for him, his (Blaqbonez’s) last hit wouldn’t be a collaboration with him.
He claimed that he is “everything” Blaq aims to be. He wrote, “If rap hard for me, your last hit no go dey with me. I’m everything you want to be, n*gga.
“Your spirit is weak.”
Responding, Blaq challenged Odumodublvck to go to the studio and reply to his diss track through bars and stop fighting on social media.
He wrote, “Enter studio and get TF out my mentions. This no be Twitter warfare. And stop calling the whole industry crying about me. No be so Kendrick Lamar dey do. Hip-hop legacy.”

Odumodublvck responded, saying his beef with Blaq is beyond the studio, stressing that it isn’t rap beef, and adding that they would meet on the street.
He wrote, “You want to make it about studio. Na lie. We go meet again for street. You know the level. This is not a rap beef. Na me and you for this world.”

Nigerian singer Ric Hassani has opened up about the moment he decided to leave his job at a top Nigerian bank to pursue music as a career.
Speaking during an interview on the CreativiTea podcast, Hassani revealed that although he struggled to break into the music industry, he didn’t hesitate to make the switch when his big break presented itself.
On the difficulties he faced in breaking into the music industry, he explained that he was rejected mainly because his sound was different and did not align with what the industry considered commercially viable.
“When I first came to Lagos, nobody wanted to sign me because I came to Lagos with a different type of sound,” he said.

However, he revealed that his big break came most unexpectedly after his song was used in a proposal video posted on a popular wedding blog.
He explained that his song, and not the wedding proposal grabbed the attention of netizens with many in the comments asking whose song it was.
As a result of the buzz the song got from the video, Hassani revealed that he got an invite to perform at a show; a development that ultimately turned things around for him, music-wise.
He added that the payment he received from the show was more than his monthly salary as a bank staff, noting that this pushed him to leave his job to face the music fully.

Hassani recounted, “Somebody was getting married on Bellanaija. So they posted the proposal video, and then my song was in the background.
“Normally, when they post a proposal video, the comments are always about the couple. But this time, everybody was like, ‘What song is that?’
“So they called me for a show, and this was more than my salary. So I left Access Bank. I said, I’m not doing it again.”
Since his breakout, Hassani has cemented himself as one of Nigeria’s best vocalists, with his talent earning him numerous awards and nominations.
