A March release from Nigerian rapper Emeka Akumefule, known professionally as Blaqbonez titled ‘Haba’ has been visualized.
The ‘Haba’ visualizer by Naiky Johnson was posted on YouTube, an American online video-sharing platform headquartered in San Bruno, California, on May 18.
Though only 1 minute and 47 seconds, the visualizer is an interesting watch. It starts with Blaqbones seated between two well-endowed women dancing to the ‘Haba’ tune.
While notifying his social media fans about the visualizer, Blaqbones said; “as you can see I’ve socially distanced myself from BIG booty, really wasn’t easy ...So go run up the Haba Visualizer on youtube @naikytoonz.”

The original ‘Haba’ video which is about three and a half minutes long premiered on March 20 and so far it has over 121,000 views on YouTube.
Haba is a standard Nigerian English exclamation of astonishment or disappointment. The song, which was Blaqbonez debut single for 2020 begins with slow Afro-Pop beats before beautifully fusing into hip-hop with some touch of reggae.
Blaqbonez who is signed to 100 Crowns, an imprint of Chocolate City was in 2019 profiled by The New York Times as one of the new guards of Nigerian music.
Also referred to as Mr Boombastic, his ninth EP that he released on 25 October 2019, Blaqbonez is widely known for his controversial self-proclaimed status as the "Best Rapper In Africa" (abbreviated as "BRIA"), which became the most talked about topic in the Nigerian hip hop space between July and September 2019.
