He said; “First, everybody has to know that I cannot be exclusive,” said BlaqBonez, “monogamy, for me, is unrealistic. I will be a polygamous man. I’m not going to pretend to a girl and say ‘you’re the only one I care for.”

"The truth is I don't lie. I am not going to pretend to a girl that you are the only one I care for...no! I will tell you right of the back. If any female is anywhere in my life, she already knows how I roll."

When asked how many women he intends on marrying, the rapper said he plans to oust King Solomon of the bible.

Asked if he has been with any lover willing to accommodate his views, the rapper responded in the negative. Then, with some cynicism, declared that every man he knows is romantically unfaithful.

The rapper said, “Every time I tell them, they try to fix me. One thing I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt – no matter what, I will cheat. Every guy I know is cheating.”

When asked if he thought he is the best rapper in Nigeria, he said, “Right now, I am. Judging by how my album is right now, I don’t think there’s any rapper right now that is dominating the charts like that.”
