"It Is Difficult For Artistes To Find Genuine Relationships" – Blaqbonez 

By Oluwarantimi Oludase 

Nigerian rapper and songwriter Emeka Akumefule, popularly known as Blaqbonez, has described the career of musicians as complicated, hindering them from having a stable relationship.

Speaking in a recent episode of the Ada's Room podcast, he explained that his career path as a singer is a barrier to his relationship life.

According to him, it is easier for people with normal jobs to cope with the demands of a relationship due to their stable schedule; however, the same does not apply to musicians, as their schedules get altered severally.

Blaqbonez further added that genuine relationship with humans is also hard, largely because most individuals clinch towards celebrities due to the opportunities they can get.

"In a relationship, I care about my partner but not in a fairytale way. I don’t think I can give anybody the fairytale. I even think that the fairytale thing is fake. Human beings are just trying to not accept reality.

“My lifestyle as an artiste is part of the reasons I can’t give anyone a fairytale love. If I was an everyday-person that didn’t have to communicate with too many people, it would be easier to dedicate myself to one woman.

"Because as an everyday-person you just go to work and come back home to your woman after closing and repeat.

“You can create a routine where just one or two people challenge the routine in a year. But being an artist, people challenge your routine every day."

"It is really difficult to find genuine relationship. Being an artiste, everybody you meet engineered themselves to be there to meet you. It is crazy because you supposed to just live and meet random people."
