Nigerian rapper, Blaqbonez has opened up on his journey as a rapper, referencing his uncle who struggled with addiction and how it affected him.
According to the rapper, he had an uncle who tried his hand at hip-hop, got addicted to drugs, how the drugs ruined, and how this affected the way their people perceived anyone who showed interest in music.
He took to Twitter to make the revelation stating that:
“Had an uncle that used to rap, didn’t happen for him, he then got hooked on drugs, from rehab to rehab till he ended up in the village, when i started rapping everyone thought I would end up like that but boy did it turn out soooo different,” he said, adding, “I stay proving em wrong.”
He added:
“They used to say “i see the spirit of uncle *** inside him” and it used to hurt me soooooo bad, it then built a serious fear and anxiety in me, in everything i did, cos I constantly thought “what if they’re true?”
