The weed @BlaqBonez smoked before recording #BRIA is a premium limited edition high.
Never heard a Naija rap diss that hot before.
It's crazy to see rappers who managed to step out only to get knocked out.
Not fair, Blaq. Not fair at all.

Blaqbonez is truly the BRIA
Blaqbonez has used delivery to top all his adversaries so far
Some have some lit bars but they’re using puns & punchlines like it’s 2006, they don’t know the game has changed + they rapping like they’re telling a story 🙄🤦🏿♂️
Diss tracks are meant to be intimidating/threatening

If @Blaqbonez says he's the Best Rapper In Africa, and smokes those who come after him, I dare say he is!
All this nonsense talk about "what about this person? What of that one?" nor concern me.

I think this Davido Blow my Mind song settles the Wizkid v Davido debate. Wizkid wins. Compare with African Bad Gyal. Both Chris Brown features on Afrobeat songs. I almost always skip Davido’s part on BMM. Tiring.

#Legalizeit
Barely a week after the death of Kenyan Member of Parliament Ken Okoth, the push for the legalisation of marijuana in the country has gained fresh momentum.
Before his death, the late Ken Okoth was very vocal his belief in the legalization and regulation of weed in Kenya to ensure its safe usage. And he proposed a bill to this effect last year.
"The lords of poverty are the people who refuse to think well. Get rid of cane farming. Grow marijuana. Sell it legally. Tax it. Raise money. Why is tobacco any better than 'weed'?"
The wise words of the late Kibra MP Ken Okoth. RIP.#LegalizeIt pic.twitter.com/Dl3a2eU1xa

Now, many Kenyans have taken to social media usind the #LegalizeIt hashtag. Here are a few reactions.
The best way to Honor Hon. Ken Okoth and Joyce Laboso is to:-
-Declare Cancer a National Disaster
-Build a Cancer Research and Facility Centre in Every County
-Legalize Medical Marijuana(#LegalizeIt)
-Inspect the Food Kenyans Consume
-Spread Cancer awareness#RIPLaboso

Annual global deaths caused by:
1. Tobacco: 7 Million deaths
2. Alcohol: 3 Million deaths
3 Marijuana: 0 deaths
Yet people will come to this hashtag to talk about how weed is dangerous. Ignorance is killing us #LegalizeIt— Ralph Wahome (@wahomeralph) August 2, 2019

What #LegalizeIt proponents won't tell you is that there are long & short term effects of marijuana including panic reaction, forgetfulness, feeling dizzy. Long term effects include; dependence, risk of cardiac arrest, lung problems, brain complications, and fertility issues.
— Eddue (@BettEddue) August 2, 2019
Y is anyone thinking marijuana cures cancer and people are still dying of cancer? Bring case studies on the table coz Ken Okoth and others wouldn't be stopped by law from saving their lives. Don't #LegalizeIt

If we decide to #LegalizeIt for recreational use, then we must also be ready to establish more rehab centers,and with it, allocate more funds that would av otherwise been put on tackling cancer itself on rehabilitation of addictees.
— Ken Andrew J (@Founderhuru) August 2, 2019
Most if not all people jumping on this weed legalization bandwagon don't understand it or its effects. In countries where weed is legal there is proper regulation of it's use. But supporting weed smoking out of euphoria is wrong #LegalizeIt
— Bramwell (@brakotsi) August 2, 2019
We should only #LegalizeIt when it is to be used medicinally. Recreational Marijuana is a no no. Tobacco smoking is harmful as it is. We wouldn't want another burden on our health and rehabilitative facilities.
