Rapper Emeka Akumefule, popularly known as Blaqbonez has publicly refuted recent allegations of harassment, cyberstalking, and emotional abuse, describing them as part of a targeted campaign of intimidation from certain figures in the music industry.
The claims, made by an unidentified woman, allege that Blaqbonez subjected her to months of harassment, including blackmail, bullying, invasion of privacy, and the unauthorised circulation of private videos.
The allegations were outlined in a statement released by her lawyer, Taiwo Akinsulie.
In response, Blaqbonez denied the accusations, insisting that the claims originate from a past personal relationship that ended amicably but has been distorted due to professional rivalries.
He wrote: “Over the past few days, several false and deeply distressing allegations have been circulated online about me. These claims are not only untrue, they are part of a sustained pattern of harassment and intimidation that I have endured for months from certain individuals within the music industry.”
Blaqbonez further explained that he had endured nearly a year of bullying, physical assaults, and online attacks, choosing initially to remain silent.
“For nearly a year, I have stayed silent and endured repeated bullying, physical assaults, and online attacks, believing that the truth would speak for itself. There comes a point when silence allows falsehoods to spread unchecked. So I am speaking now: I have done nothing wrong. At the heart of these stories lies a personal relationship from my past, one that ended respectfully and without conflict.
“That private chapter has now become entangled with professional rivalries in the music industry. What began as a personal matter between two adults has been pulled into a broader feud, reshaped and used as ammunition in a campaign to discredit me publicly.”

Addressing the growing public attention on the allegations, the rapper described them as deliberate attempts to harm his reputation: “The accusations being pushed are deliberate fabrications designed to damage my name, my work, and everything I’ve built. They have caused pain to my family, my team, and those who support me. It’s disheartening to see people weaponise falsehoods for attention and revenge.”
Blaqbonez assured his fans that he is fully cooperating with authorities and pursuing legal measures to protect himself.
“I’m cooperating fully with the authorities to ensure that the truth is established once and for all. I have nothing to hide, and I welcome transparency. I’m also taking steps through my legal team to protect myself against the harassment and defamation I’ve endured over the past year.”
He reaffirmed his commitment to honesty and integrity, warning against the real-world consequences of bullying and false accusations.
“I’ve worked hard to represent honesty and self-belief in my art. That will not change. The truth will come out, and when it does, I hope this moment reminds everyone that false accusations destroy real lives, and that bullying, whether physical, digital, or psychological, must never be tolerated.
“I won’t allow personal grudges or online hostility to define who I am or distract me from my purpose. The truth is not afraid of light, and that’s where I stand. Thank you to everyone who’s reached out in support. My focus remains on my music, my peace, and clearing my name.”
