Blaqbonez Calls Out Industry Heavyweights For Copying His Release Dates [Video]

Blaqbonez, the Nigerian rapper and self-proclaimed ‘Best Rapper in Africa’, has taken to social media to poke fun at artistes who release music on the same day he announces his own projects.

In a video he shared via his social media pages on Thursday, Blaqbonez called out Kanye West, DJ Khaled, Ariana Grande, Drake, Davido and Asake for all dropping music on the same day as his previous announcements.

“In 2020 when I announced my ‘Mr Bombastic’ album, Kanye West decided he was gonna drop the same day,” he began.

“In 2021, when I announced my ‘Sex Over Love’ album, DJ Khaled and Ariana Grande decided they were going to drop the same day.

“The year after that, I decided to announce my ‘Young Preacher’ album, Drake decided he was going to drop his album the same day.

“A year after that, I announced March 31st, Davido decided he was going to drop the same day.

“Somewhere in between, I announced a day Asake said ‘I’m going to drop that day’. “

He went on to announce May 12 as the next day he plans to drop his music, warning other artistes to steer clear of that date.

“Y’all need to cut that shit out. I’ve announced May 12. May is the fifth month of the year, twelfth is the twelfth day of the month,” he concluded.

Blaqbonez seems to be taking the competition in stride, but it remains to be seen if any of his contemporaries will take his advice and move their release dates.
