Nigerian artiste, Emeka Akumefule, known professionally as Blaqbonez has recounted how his mum asked him to give a pastor the first two hundred thousand naira he made in his music career as first fruit.

BlaqBonez in a lengthy tweet on Monday said that as of that time, he was struggling to make his career in music a success..

He said, I took the longest road to success in this music ting, I f**king dropped 8 mixtapes, when I look back it does make sense that I didn’t give up.

The first mixtape I recorded, a sound engineer called me to say his system crashed and everything was lost, I fell to the ground on the main road in tears, cos omo I was traveling from OAU to Lagos every weekend to record it 😭

When I made my first 200k and I wanted to buy studio equipment my mum took me to a pastor to donate the money as first fruit 😭😭.
