My mum made me give my first 200k to pastor as first fruit – Blaqbonez recounts

Popular rapper Emeka Akumefule aka Blaqbonez has recounted how his mother made him to donate his first N200,000 he made as an upcoming artist to a pastor.

Blaqbonez made this revelation in a series of tweets on Twitter as he reminisce on his days of humble beginnings in his music career.

“When I made my first 200k and I wanted to buy studio equipment, my mum carried me to go and give the pastor as first fruit,” he said.

The singer also recalled how he fainted when the computer he was using crashed after he had recorded his songs.

“The first mixtape I recorded, the sound engineer called me to say his system crashed and everything was lost. I fell to the ground on the main road in tears because Omo I was traveling from OAU to Lagos every weekend to record it.

“I took the longest road to success in this music thing, I fucking dropped 8 mixtapes, when I look back, it doesn’t make sense that I didn’t give up.

“At some points, I had to produce, mix, and master my shit because I was dropping every week, like 50 songs a year. Which money I go use pay people?”
