Yahoo Boys Controversy: Blaqbonez vs YBNL (2018)
This song is so offensive to me, about… In this era, wait, wait, bhah benz o…
Put improper pressure on the Nigerians to tell directly everyone who doesn’t drive Mercedes-Benz or high-end cars that he’s failed and now there are more people thinking about the ritual
-weka (@blaqbonez) December 12, 2018
This dispute is not the first time that Blaqbonez has clashed with YBNL-related rappers. Back in 2018, he publicly criticized some of them for performing the lyrics of Honor Internet Fraud (Yahoo Yahoo).
During King’s University, performing in Lagos, YBNL signer Picazo Rhap, Limerick, Yomi Blaize and another rapper Kayzmoore ring controversial lyrics in Kayzmoore’s songs Year.
The lyrics that originally laughed in Yoruba were translated into: “At your age, shouldn’t you buy benz? At your age, shouldn’t you do Yahoo?”
Blaqbonez immediately condemned the song, noting that it was offensive and promoted the fraudulent lifestyle of Nigerian youth. He got on X and expressed his concerns: “It’s so offensive to me to have this song, about…at this age, wait, wait. Improper pressure on Nigerians, directly telling everyone who doesn’t drive Mercedes-Benz or high-end cars that have failed. Now, some people are considering rituals. It’s a shame that people sing this nonsense without challenges rather than realizing how much the impact music has on our daily lives. People are destroying their lives every day because they are not running. Sad to be ashamed of this logic. ”
His stance sparked backlash from YBNL affiliate rappers who took Instagram to mock him, calling him ignorant and struggling artists.
This exchange reinvigorates concerns about how Nigerian music often normalizes Yahoo Yahoo, with lyrics cleverly or blatantly encouraging fraud as a means of gaining wealth.
It is a pity that people sing, challenge without being challenged, without being restricted, without realizing how much music affects our daily lives, and people destroy their lives every day because they are not running. Sad to be this logic

Big picture: Yahoo culture in Nigerian music
I will struggle and be rich, will anyone say I am a Yahoo boy? When I was a poor boy, where were you?
—Samuel Manutd Sunday (@sambukk2020) March 13, 2018
Blaqbonez vs YBNL Hate is part of a larger social dialogue about how Nigerian music continues to promote fraudulent lifestyles. In the past, artists liked it Forged Calling musicians to glorify Internet fraud. In 2018, Falz criticized veteran singer 9ice For the lyrics that allegedly praise the Yahoo boy. Similarly, Victor ADPopular songs, We got wet and Chinko True‘ God with power It is considered an example of how street music can facilitate fraudulent wealth acquisition.
Blaqbonez’s 2018 tweet reflects his frustration with the trend: “So I talked about how offensive the lyrics of a particular song are, and the entire YBNL mafia came out to insult. Do you think we should encourage the following lines: “At this age, se ko ye ko ma ti ra benz ni? In this age, se ko ye ko ma ti se yahoo?”
Despite the ongoing criticism, Yahoo Yahoo culture remains deeply rooted in Nigerian street music, reflecting a larger social problem, which measures successful social problems through wealth without measuring how it is acquired.
There is poverty, agree. For some, it’s hard to resist Yahoo Boy’s Goody Bag, but that’s not a reason to defend your own actions.
