Nigerian rapper Blaqbonez has hailed 2Face Idibia’s iconic track, African Queen, as the greatest love song ever produced in Nigeria. During a recent podcast discussion with Major AJ, Blaqbonez expressed his admiration for the timeless classic, stating that no other Nigerian love song comes close to its impact and popularity. He emphasized that African Queen stands in a league of its own, setting a standard that remains unmatched in the Nigerian music industry.
Released in 2004 as part of 2Face’s debut solo album, Face 2 Face, African Queen quickly became a global sensation, resonating with audiences far beyond Nigeria. Its soulful melody, heartfelt lyrics, and 2Face’s smooth vocals made it an anthem of love and admiration. The song’s universal appeal earned it widespread acclaim, cementing 2Face’s status as one of Africa’s most influential musicians.
Blaqbonez, known for his witty and often controversial takes on music, argued that while Nigeria has produced numerous love songs over the years, none have achieved the same level of cultural significance and emotional connection as African Queen. He praised the song’s simplicity and authenticity, noting that it captures the essence of love in a way that feels both personal and relatable.
The rapper’s comments have sparked conversations among fans and music enthusiasts, with many agreeing that African Queen remains a timeless masterpiece. Others, however, have debated whether other love songs by Nigerian artists, such as Fela Kuti’s Lady or D’banj’s Fall in Love, could rival its status. Despite differing opinions, Blaqbonez’s endorsement underscores the enduring legacy of 2Face’s African Queen as a cultural landmark in Nigerian music.
As the debate continues, one thing remains clear African Queen has left an indelible mark on the hearts of millions, solidifying its place as one of Nigeria’s most beloved love songs. Blaqbonez’s tribute serves as a reminder of the song’s lasting influence and the power of music to transcend time and borders.
