Blaqbonez complains about colleagues

TheTalk.NG had reported that Blaqbonez had cried out about how the music industry had been unfair to him.

The singer had earlier complained that Wizkid was releasing a new song on the same day he also planned to drop his track.

According to him, the Essence crooner’s music prevented his song from getting the desired attention he had been envisaging.

In another video, he stated that he announced the date he was releasing his song over a month ago but 10 Nigerian singers also decided to drop their music the same day.

Meanwhile, TheTalk.NG has reported that Blaqbonez had dragged Davido over an announcement he made.

The singer had stated that he was going to launch his Timeless album on March 31st.

However, Blaqbonez had expressed his displeasure with Davido. Responding to his call out, Davido said that his album launch would not affect the young singer in any way because they both have different audiences.
