Nigerian rapper, Akumefule Chukwu-Emeka, popularly known as Blaqbonez, has expressed fears about what he considers responsible parenting, wondering who will be his family’s prayer warrior.
According to him, the world is fast losing prayerful mother’s.
He added that he hardly prayed, but his mother prayed for him regularly.
According to Blaqbonez who made a tweet on this recently, the new generation of parents prefer clubbing and smoking to being prayer warriors.
He wrote (sic): “But i forecast that the next generation mums too would join the dads, and then we would all not be religious together.
Wahala for the next gen kids.
This generation isn’t religious, with the way it’s going if you need prayers you might need to do it yourself, just glad to have someone that has my back spiritually.
“Last of a dying breed.
Next generation mums are most likely fun mums, woke mums, but not prayer warriors mums.
My mumsi dey steady pray for me, i just pity next generation children, na club all their mumsi go dey, dey smoke shisha, who go pray for who?
The past generation made prayer like a gender role, made us expect mothers to be mad religious but going forward if you need prayers you’d have to do it yourself.
I wonder who would pray for my kids, sha cos me I barely pray and I’d probably not have a religious baby mama.”
Signed to 100 Crowns, which is an imprint of Chocolate City, Blaqbonez is a famous Nigerian rapper known for blending Yoruba and English in his rap. In 2019, he was profiled by The New York Times as one of the new guards of Nigerian music.
He is widely known for his controversial self-proclaimed status as the “Best Rapper in Africa” (abbreviated as “BRIA”), which became the most talked about topic in the Nigerian hip hop space between July and September 2019.
