So @BlaqBonez decided to bring me out today and unlock my twitter account. Now I have to answer the question to “How he got the name Blaqbonez”.

#thread
So right after Secondary school, boys would come around and form crews. A lot of us were waiting for JAMB, so I’d say we were pretty jobless. We would gallivant and gist about girls, about money we did not have and all...So we sha formed the crew. But the crew needed a name...
....an Identity of some sorts so we decided to look at our most striking features...I drew BLAQ-BONES (I was dark-skinned...like midnight issh, I still am and was skinny as hell). Everyone in the crew found their “BONES” and it just became our thing....When I met Emeka, he was...
...coming from a series of terrible rap names - like MC Floricisthttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy"> (which is my all time favorite to taunt him with). We immediately bonded. I was already a huge @MI_abaga & Choc Boiz fan...it was my mumu button (still is). All you had to do was say you liked MI & we were cool!
One day Emeka says to me, “Omo e be like say I go use this Blaqbonez ooo...I like am, in fact I done thief am o...sheybi no be say you wan use am RAP” and that was all that needed to be said...funny thing is, up until a few mins ago wey I call am for phone, even BLAQ no know...
He just liked it!!! Him no wan know how the name comot https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy"> The thing just go well for verses https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤣" title="Rolling on the floor laughing" aria-label="Emoji: Rolling on the floor laughing"> And coincidentally, the weyrey black like oily cadaver and skinny too. That’s how he jumped on the name immediately and changed his social media handles...I still kept mine at first...
I mean it was like a hostile take over and I struggled with coming up with another moniker. Then his Birthday came up a few months later, so I decided to change my handle & officially let go as a birthday gifthttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy"> I figured as per boys broke, na the only thing wey I fit give am https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😌" title="Relieved face" aria-label="Emoji: Relieved face">
I’m really proud of him, how far he has come and how much he believes in his craft. The Nigga promotes his music like say na Extra-life. He is talented and resilient...you just gotta love him for it. And even if you feel otherwise...at least you still FEEL something https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy">
