Nigerian rapper Emeka Akumefule, popularly known as Blaqbonez, has expressed his perspective on fame, describing it as a "crazy punishment."
Blaqbonez conveyed that celebrities, despite their fame, undergo significant stress that is not experienced by "normal" people who may be wealthier.
He pointed out that the challenges of being famous limit his ability to have "actual fun" in Nigeria.

Speaking in the latest episode of the Afrobeats Intelligence Podcast hosted by Joey Akan, Blaqbonez said, “I think fame is a punishment. Normal people can have all the money in the world, and drive a way bigger car than I would drive. But in traffic, everybody will leave them and focus on me. Why?
“Now, if I walk into a restaurant, everybody is on me. I can’t even do those basic things. Normal people can have 50 times my money, wear a regular T-shirt and just stroll. Nobody is checking what type of ring, or chain he is wearing or how fresh he is looking. No human being cares. They just go straight to the world to buy whatever they want. Enjoying whatever experiences.
“I can’t even go out in Nigeria to have actual fun. I must be Blaqbonez. It feels like a crazy punishment. Other people who have way more money have a much easier life than me. I have to be hiding.”
