“I’m Not Dying, I Just Miss Nigerian Food” — Blaqbonez Explains Drastic Weight Loss
Popular Nigerian rapper Blaqbonez has finally addressed growing concerns about his noticeable weight loss, which has sparked online debates and even alarm among fans.
The ‘Go Crazy’ crooner recently shared photos on X (formerly Twitter), which triggered a wave of comments from followers — including one fan who bluntly stated, “You’re dying bro.”
But Blaqbonez was quick to shut down the speculation, offering a light-hearted but honest explanation:
“My problem is I only like Nigerian food, so whenever I leave the country I struggle to eat,” he replied.
🥘 The Love for Naija Food Is Real
Blaqbonez revealed that he's been abroad for two months working on the final touches of his upcoming album, and during this time, his diet took a hit.
Apparently, no jollof, egusi, or amala = no appetite for the Chocolate City star.
“Whenever I’m outside [Nigeria], I just don’t eat well. But don’t worry, I’ll gain weight soon,” he added.
🧠 Opinion: Fans Need to Chill (And Listen)
In the age of social media, it’s common for celebrities to be put under the microscope — and even more common for fans to assume the worst without context. While concern is natural, body-shaming or panic-inducing comments like “You’re dying” are unnecessary.
Let’s normalize asking “Are you okay?” instead of jumping to conclusions.
Also, for those who’ve lived abroad, missing Nigerian food is a very real struggle. The spice, flavor, and soul in Naija dishes are hard to replicate elsewhere. So Blaqbonez’s experience? Totally relatable.
🎵 New Album Loading
Blaqbonez has also used this moment to remind fans that his new album is almost ready — a project he's clearly been sacrificing more than just sleep for.
So while fans worry about his weight, Blaq is focused on serving hot bars, not hot jollof (yet).
💬 Reactions from Fans
“Omo Naija food dey do wonders. Come back home and eat some fufu abeg.”
“Glad to know you’re okay, but try find one Nigerian restaurant dey survive small.”
“We dey wait for the album sha, weight or no weight.”
💡 Final Word
Instead of worrying over Blaqbonez’s looks, let’s celebrate his honesty and dedication to the grind. Health is important — but so is supporting artists who are pushing boundaries and staying real with their fans.
And Blaq, when you land back in Nigeria, someone get this man a bowl of egusi and pounded yam — extra spicy. He’s earned it.
