A radio host in Lagos once told me that my Igbo rapping skills would never get me far in the music industry

Illbliss, whose real name is Tobechukwu Ejiofor, is a popular rapper who once met a radio host in Lagos while he was an underground artist.

The ‘Aiye Po Gan’ singer revealed that the radio host had forecasted his failure to make it big in the megacity’s music scene due to his predominant Igbo rapping style.

Illbliss recently made the following statement when appearing on an edition of the Real Shareholders podcast: “When I came to Lagos, I made a record titled ‘Igbo Boy.'” After that, a radio host contacted me and demanded to know, “What are you up to?” Here, you will fail miserably.

You’re not here without a purpose. Igbo people. After that, he separated into Yoruba fluidity. Yoruba was already audible to me at that moment. “You join them when you can’t beat them,” he said. It won’t go very far, despite the excellent soundtrack.

“I didn’t find the song offensive at all. It was about the joyous spirit of the Igbo people. My heart sank at the sight of that man. I got the impression that no matter how much we try to hide the fact that we are a united nation, dealing with tribal divisions is really difficult.
