Nigerian rapper Emeka Akumefule, popularly known as Blaqbonez, has revealed that his stage name originally belonged to a friend who was passionate about rap.
Blaqbonez disclosed this during a recent appearance on the Tea With Tay podcast, where he shared the story behind his adopted stage name.
According to the rapper, his friend had chosen the name but was neither actively using it nor pursuing a career in music at the time.
He explained that he approached his friend and asked to use the name because he liked it.
He said, “I stole it, you know, it was my friend’s name. There was Blaqbonez and he wasn’t using it for anything. The guy liked rap, so he gave himself a rap name. He wasn’t even rapping, he wasn’t doing anything with the name. So, one day I just said, bro, dey use this name. I like am, and that’s how I started bearing Blaqbonez.”
Meanwhile, Blaqbonez has also spoken about his long-standing feud with fellow rapper Odumodublvck, revealing that their rift was partly connected to a girl they were both romantically involved with.
Odumodublvck had previously maintained that the disagreement between them went beyond music.
Following Blaqbonez’s diss track in June 2025, Odumodublvck wrote on X, “You want to make it about studio. Na lie. We go meet again for the street. You know the level. This is not rap beef. Na me and you for this world.”
However, speaking during an interview with media personality Rufai Oseni, Blaqbonez explained that he did not know Odumodublvck was also involved with the girl at the time.
