Nobody has a better catalogue than me - Blaqbonez
Nigerian rapper Blaqbonez, known for his hit Like Ice Spice, ignited a firestorm on social media after his recent claim.
In a recent tweet, Blaqbonez conceded only "the big 3 or 4" Nigerian artists have a stronger discography than him. He emphatically declared "NOBODY, I repeat NOBODY has a better catalogue than me."
This defiant claim is in response to criticism he received for claiming his two latest songs surpassed every 2023 Afrobeats track. The rapper even went as far as saying that Afrobeats is becoming "ASS" much to the dismay of fans.
