According to the rapper, travelling to other countries has made him more aware of the gap between Nigeria and where he believes it should be in terms of development.

“Nigeria is hectic, but it is still home. When you go to other countries, you will realise how far we are from where we should be,” he said.

Speaking about retirement, Blaqbonez said he found it difficult to imagine many successful people choosing to remain in Nigeria after leaving active work, although he acknowledged that some might prefer to do so.
