Blaqbonez reacts to Reps’ ban on adult sites

• Nigerian rapper, Blaqbonez, has responded to the House of Representatives’ directive for a nationwide shutdown of pornographic websites.

• The Nigerian legislature has ordered the telecoms regulator, the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), to prohibit access to all pornographic websites in the country.

• The decision has sparked mixed reactions among Nigerians, with some supporting it as a morality promotion, while others argue it goes beyond their boundaries.

Nigerian rapper Emeka Akumefule, widely recognized as Blaqbonez, has expressed his views regarding the House of Representatives’ recent directive to completely shut down pornographic websites across the nation.

On Tuesday, the blue chamber of the federal legislature mandated the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), the regulatory body for telecommunications, to restrict access to all pornographic sites in Nigeria.

This decision has sparked a variety of responses from the Nigerian populace; while some individuals support the initiative, arguing that it will enhance moral standards, others believe that the lawmakers have overstepped their authority.

In his response to this development on his X account, Blaqbonez indicated that the ban reflects a misalignment of priorities among Nigerian politicians.

The artist referenced well-known adult film star Destiny Mira, asserting that adult films like hers provide comfort to citizens during challenging times.

In a post on his verified social media account, Blaqbonez remarked, “This country is funny. Destiny Mira, who helps us through tough times, and they want to ban her.”

In other news, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, the revolutionary force behind Afrobeats, was known for his radical views, activism, and unconventional personal life. His relationships, in particular, were often a source of fascination and controversy. Now, his son, Seun Kuti, has reignited discussions with startling revelations that have stunned many.

During an interview with media personality Quincy Jones on Echo Room, Seun confirmed long-standing rumors that Fela married 27 wives. However, the most shocking part of his revelation was that in 1986, Fela made the extraordinary decision to divorce them all at once.

As the youngest of Fela’s children, Seun explained that he never lived under the same roof with his father’s many wives, but he did witness the sheer magnitude of Fela’s lifestyle. According to him, the Afrobeat legend shared his home with more than 100 women at different times.

This revelation comes months after Seun made headlines for receiving a remarkable gift from Grammy-winning superstar Burna Boy. The artist presented him with a diamond-encrusted pendant featuring the iconic image of Fela Kuti—a deeply symbolic tribute to the man who not only shaped Seun’s life but also transformed African music.

Overwhelmed by the gesture, Seun took to social media to express his gratitude, calling the gift a powerful representation of legacy, respect, and the enduring influence of Fela’s music.

The momentous exchange took place at an event hosted by businessman Obi Cubana, where Burna Boy was reportedly celebrating alongside his rumored new love interest, American singer Chloe Bailey.

Seun’s revelations and his connection with Burna Boy continue to highlight the lasting impact of Fela Kuti’s legacy, proving that his influence extends far beyond music.
