Nigerian rapper Emeka Akumefule, popularly known as Blaqbonez, has sparked widespread conversation online after openly endorsing the idea of open marriage.
Speaking on a podcast session, the Chocolate City artist shared his unconventional views on fidelity, emotional connection, and the realities of long-term relationships.
According to him, he would be comfortable with his future wife being sexually involved with another man, especially during periods when he is away on tour or focused on work.
The rapper emphasized that for him, emotional connection and loyalty outweigh physical exclusivity in a relationship. He maintained that no other man could easily replicate the unique bond he would have with his partner.
“I don’t mind having an open marriage. Most married couples don’t keep having the same amount of s+x they had at the beginning it naturally reduces. So, if someone else is satisfying her s+xually while I’m out hustling or touring, that’s fine. There’s more to marriage than s+x. I don’t mind her sleeping with someone else as long as she remains dedicated to me. It would be hard for another man to match the emotional connection I’ve built. They might not even make her laugh like I do.” He said
Blaqbonez further revealed that if he ever gets married, he would prefer a setup where he and his wife have separate bedrooms, coming together only when intimacy is desired.
He explained that this arrangement supports personal space while preserving passion and mutual respect.
His remarks have ignited mixed reactions across social media, with some applauding his honesty, others criticizing the approach as a threat to traditional marital values.
