He liked rap, so he gave himself a rap name. He wasn’t even a rapper. He wasn’t doing anything. So one day I just said, bro, no dey use this name. I like am. And that’s how I started bearing Blaqbonez. I swear”.

In the interview, the rapper reveals a lot more about himself before fame and how he hustled his way to succeed.
