Don't generalize Igbo is a private thing; what is food to you could be poison to others - King White
In a short chat with Legit.ng, a fast-rising Nigerian musician and media aide to the Aare Onakankanfo of Yorubaland, King White, took time to criticize his pal and colleague, Blaqbonez, for his loose comment about hemp being prevalent in the music industry.
While hashish might be a thing for Blaqbonez, King White noted that it's not the same for every other artist. White slammed his colleague for generalizing, saying the rapper's reality isn't the same for everybody else.
"A message to my brother Blaqbones, i would like to urge you to please, don't generalise we*d. Because not everyone engages in it, I am a prime example of a musician who doesn't smoke, same with Fireboy and even Small Doctor.
"What is food to Blaqbones is poison to many others, so please don't project your personal reality or view of things on the upcoming generation as the general truth."
