Blaqbonez Gives Reasons Why He Has Never Voted In An Election

Emeka the Stallion, as he is also known, thinks that the nation’s problems reflect the character of its people, suggesting that leaders are simply a representation of society.

“I feel like we are… Like, our leaders are a representation of us. So, I’ve seen us. So, I don’t see any difference. We are all, like, us”, he said.

Blaqbonez doesn’t see participating in elections as making a meaningful difference because his expectations of the country are unmet.

Blaqbonez, who is widely celebrated for his unorthodox approach and his ability to blend hip-hop with Afro-fusion, was spotlighted by The New York Times as a “new guard” of Nigerian music and even performed at the GRAMMY’s 2023 Salute to 50 Years of Hip-Hop event.
