Singer Rick Ross Previews Music Collaboration With Blaqbonez

Rick Ross, a renowned American rapper, has released a preview of his upcoming single, which features Nigerian artist Blaqbonez, providing a sneak peek into their highly anticipated musical collaboration.

On June 10, 2024, Rick Ross gave his Instagram followers a sneak peek of his upcoming track, sharing a brief video that featured an excerpt of Blaqbonez’s verse. 

Rick Ross’ forthcoming collaboration with Blaqbonez is part of his larger vision to create a pan-African album, which will showcase a diverse range of talents from across the continent.

At the start of the year, Rick Ross expressed his admiration for Nigerian artists Portable and Odumodublvck, while sending a shout-out to the artists and expressing his desire to make an African album.

Rick Ross later connected with Odumodublvck on an Instagram live session, where the Nigerian rapper introduced him to the rhythms and energy of Afrobeats. During their virtual hangout, Rick Ross enthusiastically praised Odumodublvck’s hit single ‘Wotowoto Seasoning’, featuring Black Sheriff, which was gaining traction in the US.

The upcoming collaboration between Rick Ross and Blaqbonez is expected to be one of the lead singles from the American rapper’s highly anticipated African album, featuring an impressive lineup of talented artists, including Ayra Starr, Stonebwoy, and Diamond Platinum, all of whom have been chosen by Rick Ross to work with.

Rick Ross’ intention to collaborate with Nigerian artists represents a full-circle moment in his career, as he was previously featured on the remix of P-Square’s hit song ‘Beautiful Oyinye’ in 2011.
