Fast-rising Nigerian rapper Emeka Akumefule, aka Blaqbonez, says a lot of people thought he would become a drug addict when he ventured into music. 
In a Twitter post on Wednesday, the 26-year-old rapper said his uncle was a rapper, however, his career suffered a setback which made him “start taking drugs.”
According to him, his uncle was taken to different rehabilitation centres before eventually returning to the village.
Blaqbonez revealed that people felt he would face the same ordeal as his uncle when he announced his music career.
“had an uncle that used to rap, didn’t happen for him, he then got hooked on drugs, from rehab to rehab till he ended up in the village, when i started rapping everyone thought I would end up like that but boy did it turn out soooo different. I stay proving em wrong,” he wrote.

they used to say “i see the spirit of uncle *** inside him” and it used to hurt me soooooo bad, it then built a serious fear and anxiety in me, in everything i did, cos I constantly thought “what if they’re true?”
